Intradialytic Acid-base Changes and Organic Anion Production With Standard Versus Low Bicarbonate Hemodialysis
This study will compare acid-base changes during hemodialysis treatments with a standard
dialysis bath versus a lower bicarbonate dialysis bath, and aims to define the factors that
limit equilibration of the bicarbonate concentration in a patient's blood with that in the
dialysate.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Receiving chronic thrice-weekly conventional hemodialysis for at least 3 months
- Age > 18 years
Exclusion Criteria:
- Use of oral alkali within the previous month
- Hospitalization within the previous month
- Inability to provide written informed consent
