title: [Notes on the electrolytic composition of haemodialysis solutions].
abstract: Changes in haemodialytic technique have been accompanied by variations in electrolyte content: calcium, sodium, potassium and chlorine levels have been decreased, while that of magnesium has been increased. Modern formulae offer optimal electrolyte with drawal from the patient. It has been shown that even minor changes in electrolyte content are followed by immediate (e.g. sodium increase) or delayed (e.g. calcium increase) symptomatologies with well-defined pathological pictures. While a standard formula for safe use in large groups can be defined, it is desirable to look for composition variants so as to obtain less traumatising treatments and, more particularly, to avoid long-term complications.
