This study evaluated the ability of the H+ mobilization model to describe blood HCO3 kinetics during HD treatments with a time-dependent dialysate [HCO3]. Methods: Data from a recent clinical study where blood [HCO3] was measured at the beginning of and every hour during 4-h treatments in 20 chronic, thrice-weekly HD patients with a constant (Treatment A), decreasing (Treatment B) and increasing (Treatment C) dialysate [HCO3] were evaluated. The H+ mobilization model was used to determine the model parameter (Hm) that provided the best fit of the model to the clinical data using nonlinear regression. A total of 114 HD treatments provided individual estimates of Hm. Results: Mean ± standard deviation estimates of Hm during Treatments A, B and C were 0.153 ± 0.069, 0.180 ± 0.109 and 0.205 ± 0.141 L/min (medians [interquartile ranges] were 0.145 [0.118,0.191], 0.159 [0.112,0.209], 0.169 [0.115,0.236] L/min), respectively; these estimates were not different from each other (p = 0.26). The sum of squared differences between the measured blood [HCO3] and that predicted by the model were not different during Treatments A, B and C (p = 0.50), suggesting a similar degree of model fit to the data.
