Abstract
The plasma-ionized calcium levels decreased during haemodialysis when a dialysate calcium concentration of 5 mg/100 ml was used. When dialysis was performed with a bath calcium concentration of 7.5 mg/100 ml, there was a significant increase in the plasma-ionized calcium levels in the post-dialysis period. These results are discussed in relation ot the optimal dialysate calcium concentrations and development of dialytic bone disease.Keywords
