Acid-base assessments in hemodialysis patients have been limited almost entirely to measurements of total CO 2 concentration, and assumptions have been made about the presence of acid-base disorders. To gain a fuller understanding of the acid-base status of stable hemodialysis patients, we analyzed measurements of pCO 2 , pH and HCO 3 - obtained in a cohort of chronic stable hemodialysis patients over a 5-year period.
