Serum Bicarbonate And Survival In Peritoneal Dialysis (Pd): Comparison With Hemodialysis (Hd)

Serum Bicarbonate And Survival In Peritoneal Dialysis (Pd): Comparison With Hemodialysis (Hd)

Correction of metabolic acidosis is one of the goals of effective dialysis. The KDOQI guidelines recommend serum bicarbonate >22 meq/L irrespective of dialysis modality. Since the measured bicarbonate reflects the steady state in PD patients and the lowest inter-dialytic value in HD patients, we...
