Stability of urea and creatinine in spent hemodialysate.
Urea and creatinine levels in spent hemodialysates showed only small declines in spite of incubation at 37 degrees C for 36 hours. In the determination of dialysate-side solute removal, it would seem prudent to keep spent dialysate cold during collection to retard bacterial breakdown of these waste products.
