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

This study aimed to assess the effects of different dialysate bicarbonate concentrations in
correcting acid-base imbalance in 53 stable hemodialysis patients in a university …

The use of high dialysate bicarbonate for hemodialysis in end-stage renal disease is
associated with increased mortality, but potential physiological mediators are poorly …

Background Observational studies of hemodialysis patients treated thrice weekly have
shown that serum and dialysate potassium and bicarbonate concentrations are associated …

Details about the acid-base changes in hemodialysis are scarce in the literature but are
potentially relevant to adequate management of patients. We addressed the acid-base …

Background. Hyperkalaemia is common in patients with advanced renal disease. In this
double-blind, randomized, three-sequence, crossover study, we compared the effect of three …

The acid-base goal of intermittent hemodialysis is to replenish buffers consumed by
endogenous acid production and expansion acidosis in the period between treatments. The …

Introduction Hemodialysis treatment using standard dialysate bicarbonate concentrations
cause transient metabolic alkalosis possibly associated with hemodynamic instability. The …

According to the approach proposed by Stewart, changes in hydrogen ion (H+)
concentration in blood plasma result from water dissociation and its determinants can be …

Acid‐base equilibrium is a complex and vital system whose regulation is impaired in chronic
kidney disease (CKD). Metabolic acidosis is a common complication of CKD. It is typically …
