  • Title: Stability of urea and creatinine in spent hemodialysate.
    Author: Cheng YL, Shek CC, Tsang DN, Li CS, Lentino JR, Daugirdas JT, Kjellstrand CM, Ing TS.
    Journal: Int J Artif Organs; 2000 Oct; 23(10):670-4. PubMed ID: 11075896.
    Abstract:
    Urea and creatinine levels in spent hemodialysates showed only small declines in spite of incubation at 37 degrees C for 36 hours. In the determination of dialysate-side solute removal, it would seem prudent to keep spent dialysate cold during collection to retard bacterial breakdown of these waste products.
