Effect of hemodialysis on high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T levels in patients with hypervolemia

In ESKD patients with hypervolemia, a single HD session using a high-flux dialyzer significantly increased hs-cTnT plasma level. Pre-dialysis hs-cTnT measurements should be used as a clinical baseline when evaluating for ACS, and post-dialysis elevations should be interpreted with caution. Serial measurements may improve diagnostic accuracy. Further prospective studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms and clinical implications of these findings.
