Abstract
In spite of the popularity of high calcium dialysate internationally, most centres in the United Kingdom continue to use a dialysate calcium of 1.5 to 1.6 mmol/L. In eleven patients studied throughout dialysis against such dialysate we conclude that it is sufficient to raise ionised calcium. Patients so treated have little elevation of PTH pre-dialysis and it is further suppressed during dialysis.Entities:
