Abstract:
Plasma acetate (PA) kinetics was analysed in two groups of patients on regular dialysis treatment (RDT). The first group presented frequent symptomatic hypotension (SHY), the second did not experience SHY during RDT. The parameters examined showed no difference between the two groups. Seven patients of the first group were then switched to bicarbonate dialysis. SHY rate and blood pressure changes did not significantly differ between the two methods of treatment.
