title: Favourable effects of bicarbonate dialysis on the body pool of phosphate.
abstract: An intravenous infusion of 3,430mg of PO4- has been given to 11 patients on acetate and to 11 patients on bicarbonate haemodialysis. The 'phosphate spaces' and dialytic removal were determined. The bicarbonate dialysis causes lower values of phosphate pool, total phosphate space, cellular space and phosphate cellular clearance. There is also a greater phosphate removal during bicarbonate dialysis. The better correction of metabolic acidosis and the absence of acetate metabolism are two factors which may be responsible for these phenomena.
