title: [Technical and economic aspects of bicarbonate hemodialysis].
abstract: The bicarbonate haemodialysis which is better tolerated by the patient is accompanied by a series of technical and economical problems. The insolubility of bicarbonate in the usual dialysis concentrates demands the production of an additional concentrate which is added to the irrigation solution. Furthermore, the evaporation of CO2 may lead to the change of the composition of the solution. The special production of the concentrates, particular criteria of storage as well as the necessity of additional monitors for the control of the irrigation solution for dialysis leads to an increase of the cost. The devices for the bicarbonate dialysis being sold now are judged and classified in their efficiency.
