“…showed that the use of a cold dialysis solution could reduce the severity and duration of itching. [ 32 ] Moreover, in a study by Brekke et al ., the most common causes of insomnia were anemia and depression. [ 33 ] The results of previous studies have shown that the use of a cold dialysis solution has many positive mental, psychological, and physical effects for hemodialysis patients.…”

“…Hemodialysis is one of the replacement therapies in acute and chronic kidney failure to maintain stability in the body's internal environment (1)(2)(3)(4). However, renal failure may cause undesirable effects such as decrease of hemoglobin and hematocrit (5), sleep disorders (4), loss of blood pressure (6,7), quality of life disorder, and pruritus (8)(9)(10)(11). Decrease of hemoglobin and hematocrit is one of the common chronic problems in kidney failure, which can even further aggravate the other complications (12).…”

Background: One of the common complications of renal failure in hemodialysis patients which has a negative impact on quality of life is anemia. Various studies showed that cold hemodialysis could improve hemodialysis complications such as pruritus, sleep disorders and fatigue. Objectives: The aim of this study was determine the effect of cold hemodialysis on hemoglobin and hematocrit level in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This research was a double-blind crossover randomized clinical trial study. 42 hemodialysis patients were divided into two groups (22 in the first group and 20 in the second group). The first group received standard hemodialysis temperature (fluid 37°C) in the first four weeks and simultaneously the second group received cold hemodialysis (fluid 35°C), in the second phase, four weeks later, the type of hemodialysis was changed in two groups. During the study, hemoglobin and hematocrit levels of patients were measured several times. Results: The results showed that in the first and second groups respectively, 55 and 32 percent of patients were in the age range of 50-65 years. Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels before the study in the two groups was not statistically significant (P: 0.19). But after the first four weeks, the mean of hemoglobin in the cold and standard hemodialysis were 13.85 vs. 11.9 and hematocrit 43.83 vs. 38.02, respectively and after the second four weeks the average hemoglobin in the cold and standards hemodialysis were 13.57 vs. 11.47, respectively and hematocrit 43.29 vs. 37.18. Crossover outcomes of the groups' analysis showed that cold hemodialysis significantly increased hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in hemodialysis patients (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The mean of hemoglobin and hematocrit was different between two groups and significantly higher in cold hemodialysis.

The Effects of Cool Dialysate on Pruritus Status During Hemodialysis of Patients With Chronic Renal Failure: A Controlled Randomized Clinical Trial

Abstract: Background: Pruritus during dialysis is a common complaint among patients undergoing hemodialysis. Despite progress in medical science and technology in the field of hemodialysis, there is still no cure for pruritus.
