On acid-base problems in REDY dialysis.
The acid-base status of dialysate and blood during REDY dialysis has been studied. A very low pH (6,90) has been found in the venous blood. However, the predialytic acidosis of the patients is corrected, which is attributed to the acetate supply during dialysis. It is pointed out that the implications of the low venous blood pH are still inadequately investigated.
