Aim The main cause of malnutrition in haemodialysis patients is a spontaneous decline in
energy and protein intakes. This study aims to report the dietary energy intake (DEI), dietary …

Background: Correction of metabolic acidosis in dialysis patients should be considered of
paramount importance. However, consuming sodium bicarbonate tablets during the …

The deleterious catabolic and pro‐inflammatory effects of acidosis in hemodialysis (HD)
patients and the importance of its correction for limiting mineral bone disease (MBD) are well …

The risks associated with calcium exposure in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients are
becoming increasingly apparent. Current K/DOQI guidelines recommend an absolute …

Abstract Adjustment of bath [HCO3−] to “normalize” predialysis serum [HCO3−] in patients
receiving intermittent hemodialysis has been advocated to prevent the adverse effects of …

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) regardless of diabetes status are at increased
risk of hypoglycemia with a resultant array of adverse clinical outcomes. Therefore …

Acid‐base assessment of patients receiving conventional hemodialysis (HD) has been
based solely on predialysis serum [total CO 2], and treatment is currently driven by the …

Chronic metabolic acidosis is common in dialysis patients. Bicarbonate administration via
the dialysate helps maintain the acid–base balance in these patients. Serum bicarbonate …

Many long-term maintenance hemodialysis patients have symptoms of protein-energy
wasting caused by malnutrition. Each session of hemodialysis removes about 10 to 12 g of …

The first thing we should remember is what our predecessors in the treatment of end-stage
renal failure have found and reported. Before reverse osmosis was widespread, dialysate …
