title: Glucose-enriched dialysate and tolerance to maintenance hemodialysis.
abstract: 10 patients entered a controlled 4-week study to evaluate the effect of a glucose-enriched dialysate (400 mg/100 ml) on hemodialysis tolerance. Headache during and after dialysis and post-dialysis fatigue decreased in a statistically significant manner. The average glycemia was only moderately increased with an adequate insulin response. Blood cholesterol and triglycerides did not vary signifcantly during this short study period.
