  • Title: Increment in dialysate sodium with sodium chloride or bicarbonate addition.
    Author: Raja RM, Fernandes M, Kramer MS, Rosenbaum JL, Barber K.
    Journal: Artif Organs; 1983 May; 7(2):154-8. PubMed ID: 6307233.
    Abstract:
    Hemodialysis was performed in 12 patients for 2 weeks each utilizing acetate dialysate containing 134 mEq/L sodium and dialysate containing 143 mEq/L sodium, achieved by the addition of sodium chloride or sodium bicarbonate to the acetate dialysate. Intradialytic morbidity was lower, dialysis hypoxemia less marked, and predialysis blood pH higher with the bicarbonate-than with the chloride-added dialysate. The long-term use of sodium bicarbonate-added dialysate in three patients was safe. Dialysate pH adjustment was not required. These findings suggest that the addition of sodium bicarbonate (50-75 g) to acetate dialysate may be preferred to sodium chloride for increasing dialysate sodium in selected patients.
