Abstract
Background
Previously, two reports proposed a four-stream dialysis fluid delivery system consisting of an acid concentrate, a base concentrate, a sodium chloride concentrate, and product water for correcting dysnatremias and metabolic acid–base disorders separately, by hemodialysis.
Methods
This report describes a new method for the clinical use of the previously reported four-stream dialysis fluid delivery system to treat concurrently dysnatremias and metabolic acid–base disturbances by hemodialysis. Pumps attached to each concentrate are designed to control its flow rate. Formulas were derived to determine the flow rate of each of the pumps controlling the flows of the product water (W), the base concentrate (B), and the sodium chloride concentrate (S) for any prescribed combination of sodium and bicarbonate concentrations is the final dialysis fluid. In this scheme, the flow rate of the acid concentrate (A), the concentrations of its contents in the final dialysis fluid remain constant. The flow rate ratio W:S:B:A remains also constant at 45 (i.e., 45X).
Results
The formulas were entered in an EXCEL flow sheet which determines the flow rate ratio W:S:B:A for any desired combination of sodium and bicarbonate concentrations in the dialysis fluid. The upper and lower limits of the concentrations of sodium and bicarbonate in the dialysis fluid were computed. The system has not been applied clinically. Measurements of any electrolyte concentrations have not been made.
Discussion
This system makes the treatment of profound dysnatremias, metabolic acid–base disorders, and combined dysnatremias and metabolic acid–base disorders feasible. The clinical application of the system demands prior in vitro or ex vivo studies plus fastidious and expert attention to ensure safe and dependable application.
期刊介绍:
Hemodialysis International was originally an annual publication containing the Proceedings of the International Symposium on Hemodialysis held in conjunction with the Annual Dialysis Conference. Since 2003, Hemodialysis International is published quarterly and contains original papers on clinical and experimental topics related to dialysis in addition to the Annual Dialysis Conference supplement. This journal is a must-have for nephrologists, nurses, and technicians worldwide. Quarterly issues of Hemodialysis International are included with your membership to the International Society for Hemodialysis.
The journal contains original articles, review articles, and commentary to keep readers completely updated in the field of hemodialysis. Edited by international and multidisciplinary experts, Hemodialysis International disseminates critical information in the field.
