Calcium mass balances during standard bicarbonate hemodialysis and long-hour slow-flow bicarbonate hemodialysis.
Conclusions: Our data show incontrovertibly that, when dialyzing with a dialysate Ca concentration of 1.50 mmol/L, 4h standard bicarbonate HD and 8h slow-flow bicarbonate HD always achieve a quite similar positive Ca++MB for the patients.
