title: [Plasma glycolate concentrations under conditions of dialysis].
abstract: Plasma glycollate and oxalate concentrations were measured in 20 patients undergoing chronic haemodialysis treatment. The mean plasma glycollate level was 173.7 +/- 52.9 mumol/l, which was not significantly different from the normal value (means = 145.8 +/- 37.8 mumol/l). The mean plasma oxalate concentration (means = 128.7 +/- 25.6 mumol/l) was about 8 times higher than the value found in normal volunteers (means = 16.8 +/- 6.0 mumol/l). During haemodialysis lasting for 6 hours the plasma oxalate concentration decreased by 53.5%. However, no decline in plasma glycollate levels was noted. Since glycollate was not found in ultrafiltrates obtained in vivo, it is concluded that glycollate is not eliminated during haemodialysis treatment.
