Hemodialysis with a new single stable bicarbonate dialysate.
A specified stable bicarbonate/glycylglycine dialysate for hemodialysis (HD) analogous to those introduced by us for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is described. HD with this single dialysate is simple, easy, safe and of reasonable cost. Results obtained from 6 HD patients proved its superiority against acetate dialysate. Bicarbonate/glycylglycine dialysate is also more stable, harmless and easier to use than bicarbonate dialysate prepared on-line.
