title: Acid-base balance in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
abstract: Metabolic acidosis was demonstrated in a group of anuric CAPD patients. Dialysate HCO3- loss was the major determinant of a negative base balance of 26.4 +/- 23.5 mMol/day. Bicarbonate supplementation corrected the acidosis. A primary respiratory alkalosis was also present in several patients.
