Abstract
A 63-year-old male patient first experienced recurrent hypotensive episode during the dialysis session just after switching the mode from hemodialysis to online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) with infusion in pre-dilution of the bicarbonate dialysate containing 9.2 mEq/L of acetate. Peripheral eosinophil count and serum IgE were both elevated to 16,440/μL and 2000 IU/L. The reactions promptly dissolved with substitution of acetate-free solution. This case illustrated that pre-dilution OL-HDF can induce an occult hypersensitivity to acetate in the standard bicarbonate dialysate.Entities:
