title: Clinical, blood gas, and lactate changes in the course of the treatment of peripheral vascular disease with a hemodialysate.
abstract: In a double-blind comparison with placebo, treatment with a hemodialysate (Solcoseryl) in severe peripheral vascular disease (PVD) resulted in a distinct improvement in symptomatology and clinically observed pathology. Initially depressed ApO2 was normalized with a corresponding increase in AO2 saturation, an increase in A-V pO2 difference, and reduction of elevated blood lactate levels. Correction of disturbed O2 diffusion is postulated to explain these observations. The mechanism proposed may be operative in lung-to-blood, blood-to-tissue, within-tissue and within-cell aspects of oxygen transport under pathologic conditions.
