Abstract:
Thirteen uraemic patients with hypertriglyceridaemia were treated for 9 months with acetate-free, bicarbonate containing dialysis fluid. With this treatment more physiological correction of acid-base balance and better tissue oxygenation were obtained. This fact can explain the better tolerance to treatment we have seen. In 9 of these patients triglyceride levels fell significantly on bicarbonate treatment; they shifted back to higher values after return to acetate dialysis. No changes were found in the other 4 patients.
