Haemodynamic state in severe chronic renal failure. Pathophysiological aspects of cardiovascular function and the
Abstract:
Patients with chronic renal failure were investigated, immediately before dialysis and during haemodialysis for central and systemic haemodynamic parameters. The treatment used was changed from acetate to bicarbonate dialysis. Additionally, acid-base values were assessed and continuous long-time electroencephalographic monitoring was performed. As the severity of the cardiac dysfunction is a decided contributory determinant of the quality of dialysis, we have turned our attention to the changes in cardiac and circulatory function during the predialysis phase and the best method of treating them.

Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
Renal Regulation of Acid-Base Balance
In the kidneys, cells within the proximal convoluted tubules (PCT) and the collecting ducts secrete hydrogen ions (H+) into the tubular fluid. Specifically, in the PCT, Na+/H+ antiporters secrete H+ while reabsorbing Na+.
However, the intercalated cells in...
