1) We performed detailed measurements of blood from both the arterial and venous limbs of
the hemodialysis circuit and of dialysate. Results of these analyses, for both bicarbonate …

TO THE EDITOR: Several years ago, we addressed the question of why blood bicarbonate
concentration ([HCO3 À]) fails to increase notably during the last half of a standard …

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

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 …

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 …

Background: In a previous study we demonstrated that mild metabolic alkalosis resulting
from standard bicarbonate hemodialysis induces hypotension. This study aimed to compare …

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

Eleven stable hemodialysis patients were treated with acetate dialysate, then changed to
bicarbonate dialysate at three different concentrations. Blood was drawn from the arterial …

The main purpose of this communication is to provide a critical analysis of the existing data
on acidbase equilibrium in patients on maintenance dialysis. Patients on maintenance …

To compare the effect of maintenance bicarbonate hemodialysis on the serum anion gap
(AG) and the serum HCO 3, the authors retrospectively evaluated the data of 28 patients …
