Abstract:Calcium transfer during intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD) was studied in four groups of patients with chronic renal failure. Group I dialyzed with a dialysis fluid concentration of 2.16 mmol/l. Group II dialyzed with the same calcium content, but with a hyperosmotic solution. Group III dialyzed with a high calcium concentration, 4.47 mmol/l in dialysis fluid and in group IV the patients dialyzed 5 cycles against a calcium-free solution followed by 5 cycles with normal calcium content. In the first three g… Show more
