Blood pressure, ventilation and lipid imbalance during hemodialysis: effect of dialysate composition
Abstract:
Regular hemodialysis with either acetate or bicarbonate dialysate can be associated with the development of hypotension and hypoxemia. Hypotension, which is more commonly observed during acetate dialysis, is usually the result of unfavorable alterations in the cardiac output, the peripheral vascular resistance, or both. Complement-mediated leukocyte embolization and hypoventilation represent the major causes of hypoxemia. No consistent long-term effects on lipid balance have been observed with either dialysate.

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...
