Abstract Fresenius Medical Care's NaturaLyte dialysate has been associated with increased
risk of sudden cardiac death by causing metabolic alkalosis from its acetate content based …

The low bath bicarbonate concentration ([]) used by a nephrology group in Japan (25.5
mEq/L), coupled with a bath [acetate] of 8 mEq/L, provided an opportunity to study the acid …

Background: It is unclear whether the use of higher dialysate bicarbonate concentrations is
associated with clinically relevant changes in the pre-dialysis serum bicarbonate …

BACKGROUND: Metabolic acidosis adversely affects both protein and bone metabolism in
patients with chronic renal failure, and could also affect morbidity and mortality. This trial …

Objective To investigate the effect on the patient's acidbase status of a 39 mmol/L
bicarbonate-buffered continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) solution. Design …

BACKGROUND: Metabolic acidosis is an inevitable complication of chronic renal failure and
one the major goals of haemodialysis (HD) treatment is correction of acidosis. The main aim …

Randomized long-term evaluation of bicarbonate-buffered CAPD solution. Background Over
the past 15 years, lactate has been used successfully as a buffer in peritoneal dialysis …

In patients receiving hemodialysis, it has long been recognized that much more bicarbonate
is delivered during treatment than ultimately appears in the blood. To gain insight into this …

Several observational studies have reported an association between higher serum
bicarbonate level and high mortality risk in dialysis patients. However, in such studies mere …

Objective To evaluate bicarbonate fluxes across the peritoneal membrane and bicarbonate
gain in patients treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) using dialysis …
