Description
- Most patients dialysed for acute renal failure suffer from hyperkalemia
- This dialysate is therefore formulated with no potassium. However, as dialysis for more than a few days will result in potassium losses, potassium often must be added later
- This is done by adding 3 or 4 mmol/l, to the dilute solution.
- The decision to use this dialysis solution is entirely at the discretion of the nephrologists depending on the patient needs.
- Quality dialysis can be done as there is no chance for cross contamination.
The composition of the dialysis solution is as follows:
PARTI: The acid concentrate (in liquid form) is composed of the following components in sach 1000ml
1- SODIUM CHLORIDE IP 210GM/LTR
2- CALCIUM CHLORIDE IP 8.0GM/LTR
3- MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE I.P 2.8GM/LTR
4-ACETIC ACID IP 9.0GM/LTR
Procedure for use:
Concentrated Haemodialysis Solution (Bi Bag K-FreeType)
Bicarbonate Dialysate is usually produced by mixing purified water with an Acid Concentrate and a Base Concentrate, Acid Concentrate supplied in liquid form in 10 Ltrs white jerry cans, while Vial of Basa concentrate already fitted in Machine. The acid concentrate (in liquid form) is composed of the following components in each 1000ml: SODIUM CHLORIDE IP 210GM/LTR, CALCIUM CHLORIDE IP 8.0GM/LTR, MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE IP 2.8GM/LTR and ACETIC ACID IP 9.0GMLTR. The dialysis machine proportions the acid concentrate, ‘the base concentrate and punfied water in 1:1.83:34 proportions. The final obtained electrolyte concentration of Na’ is 136 mmolit, Ca” is 1.50 mmolil, Mg is 0.50 mmol/l, CH,COO is 4.30 mmol/l, Cl is 101.00 mmol/l and HCO, is 39.00 mmol/l. This electrolyte concentration stands in the standard range provided by the W.H.O for the said purpose. The electrolyte concentration can be tailor made as prescribed by the nephrologists depending on the patient needs.
