Abstract:
We all know that "bicarbonate dialysate" became the world wide used fluid for use in haemodialysis and related techniques. To prepare bicarbonate dialysate we actually have to use two separate concentrates: one containing sodium bicarbonate, solely or in combination with other electrolytes other than calcium, and a second concentrate containing mostly all the other electrolytes (sodium, magnesium, potassium, chloride and/or some acetate).
