Objective:To investigate the effects of different blood purification methods on their nutritional status and inflammatory response in elderly patients with chronic renal failure.Methods:A total of 120 elderly patients with chronic renal failure who were treated in Lishui People′s Hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were selected as the research objects, and they were divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table method, with 60 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were given hemodialysis alone, and the patients in the observation group were given hemofiltration dialysis treatment on the basis of the patients in the control group. The nutritional status-related indicators, inflammation-related indicators and renal function-related indicators before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment, the levels of serum total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), hemoglobin (HGB) and creatinine clearance (Ccr) in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group: (65.61 ± 4.82) g/L vs. (61.26 ± 3.51) g/L, (36.54 ± 4.52) g/L vs. (31.53 ± 3.32) g/L, (97.58 ± 5.84) g/L vs. (93.06 ± 5.17) g/L, (41.88 ± 4.87) ml/min vs. (34.51 ± 4.36) ml/min, while the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were significantly lower than those in control group: (120.09 ± 9.36) ng/L vs. (157.17 ± 14.27) ng/L, (7.15 ± 1.16) mg/L vs. (14.17 ± 2.74) mg/L, (22.14 ± 6.67) ng/L vs. (33.87 ± 7.28) ng/L, (327.16 ± 44.35) μmol/L vs. (378.59 ± 48.27), (10.15 ± 2.03) mmol/L vs. (15.83 ± 3.31) mmol/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For elderly patients with chronic renal failure, the use of hybrid blood purification can significantly reduce toxins in the body and improve the nutritional status and inflammation of patients, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
