Introduction: The optimal dialysate bicarbonate concentration (DBIC) for hemodialysis (HD)
remains controversial. Herein, we analyzed the effect of dialysate bicarbonate levels on …

High sodium bicarbonate and acetate hemodialysis: Double-blind crossover comparison of
hemodynamic and ventilatory effects. The superiority of bicarbonate dialysis (Bi HD) over …

In this study, we present a new protocol for kidney replacement therapy (hemodialysis),
based on an explicitly solvable mathematical model. With current protocols, the high and …

Background: The H+ mobilization model has been recently reported to accurately describe
intradialytic kinetics of plasma bicarbonate concentration; however, the ability of this model …

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

Background. There is no consensus regarding the optimal dialysate calcium concentration
(DCa) during haemodialysis (HD). Low DCa may predispose to acute arrhythmias, whereas …

Background Metabolic acidosis is a common problem in haemodialysis patients, but
acidosis overcorrection has been associated with higher mortality. There is no clear …

Background. In a previous study we demonstrated that mild metabolic alkalosis resulting
from standard bicarbonate haemodialysis induces hypotension. In this study, we have …

Methods: The present study has a crossover design: 11 stable anuric HD patients underwent
2 bicarbonate HD sessions, 1 of 4 hours (4h) and the other of 8 hours (8h) in a random …
