Objective To investigate the performance of domestic Biolight D800 hemofiltration machine(BLT-D800 Guangdong Biolight Meditech CO.,China).Method This was a randomized controlled study,using the imported Braun Dialog+hemofiltration machine(B.Braun Avitum AG,Germany)as the control.A total of 120 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)at the Blood Purification Center,Guizhou Hospital of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital were recruited for this study.They were divided into 2 groups(n=60/group)by a random number table method.Patients in each group were treated with hemodialysis(HD)3 times/week and post diluted hemodiafiltration(HDF)once/month.Dialysis complications,treatment effects,dialysate for the machine and other indicators were observed during HDF.Result The ratios of hypotension,hypertension,muscle cramp,and choking sensation in chest were similar between the two groups(x2=0.178,0.934,0.167 and 0.164 respectively;P=0.677,0.358,0.666 and 0.873 respectively).After HDF treatment,Kt/V,urea reduction rate(URR)and serum β2 microglobulin(β2-MG)were also similar between the two groups(t=-0.426,0.165 and 0.046 respectively;P=0.381,0.692 and 0.833 respectively).Ultrafiltration error was statisti-cally higher in the control group(t=-14.956,P<0.001).Conclusion The domestic BLT-D800 hemofiltration machine is stable for blood purification performance and is capable to carry out HDF safely and effectively
