Comparison between bicarbonate/lactate and standard lactate dialysis solution in peritoneal transport and ultrafiltration: a prospective, crossover single-dwell study

Peritoneal dialysis international : journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis

It has been proposed that biocompatible bicarbonate/lactate based (Bic/Lac), physiologic-pH peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions will be beneficial in long-term PD. However, we do not yet have detailed knowledge concerning the comparative physiology of buffer transport for these new solutions and their impact on underlying peritoneal transport of solutes and ultrafiltration (UF). The purpose of this study was to investigate the profile of buffer handling and peritoneal membrane transport characteristics during a single dwell of the new Bic/Lac-based versus standard lactate-based (Lac) PD solution. In this prospective crossover study, we compared a 25 mmol/L bicarbonate/15 mmol/L lactate buffered, physiologic pH, low glucose degradation product (GDP) solution (Physioneal; Baxter Healthcare, McGaw Park, Illinois, USA) with a standard lactate buffered, acidic pH, conventional solution (Dianeal; Baxter). 18 patients underwent two peritoneal equilibration tests (PETs) with 2.5% Dianeal and...

Acid-base profile and predictors of metabolic acidosis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis with lactate- and bicarbonate-buffered peritoneal dialysis solutions

Advances in peritoneal dialysis. Conference on Peritoneal Dialysis, 2006

Metabolic acidosis correction is one of the goals of renal replacement therapy. Correction of acidosis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) may be affected by PD modalities such as automated PD (APD) or by new solutions containing a combination of bicarbonate and lactate as a buffer [bicarbonate continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD)]. The aim of the present study was to examine the acid-base status of our PD population and to compare the effects of APD, lactate CAPD, and bicarbonate CAPD on serum bicarbonate levels. We studied 35 stable patients undergoing APD (n = 15), lactate-buffered (35 mEq/L) CAPD (n = 14), and bicarbonate/lactate-buffered CAPD (n = 6) for 48.5 +/- 38.1 months. Most of our patients had serum bicarbonate levels in the normal range. In 3 patients (8%), HCO3 was below 22 mEq/L, and in 8 patients (22%; APD = 2, lactate CAPD = 2, bicarbonate CAPD = 4), HCO3 was above 28 mEq/L. We found no statistically significant correlations between HCO3 serum levels and PD prescription, periton...

Short-term effects of bicarbonate/lactate-buffered and conventional lactate-buffered dialysis solutions on peritoneal ultrafiltration: a comparative crossover study

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2009

Background. This study was designed to compare the effects of a conventional lactate-based peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution (D) and a new biocompatible bicarbonate/lactate-based solution with a low concentration of glucose degradation products (P) on peritoneal ultrafiltration (UF) and other peritoneal membrane indices. Methods. Twenty-six stable, prevalent PD patients were enrolled in this prospective study. They sequentially underwent 3 months of therapy with the D solution and 3 months with the P solution in a randomized order. Daily, overnight and 4-h UF on PET were measured and other peritoneal membrane indices were also assessed using PET with 2.27% glucose solution. Results. Twenty-one patients successfully completed the study. The mean daily peritoneal UF with D was 1324 ± 602 ml and 881 ± 633 ml with P (P < 0.001) and this

Bicarbonate versus lactate buffer in peritoneal dialysis solutions: the beneficial effect on RBC metabolism

Peritoneal dialysis international : journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis

Using the erythrocyte as a model for other kinds of cells not directly exposed to peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions, we investigated the tolerance of the cell metabolism to lactate and bicarbonate buffers. We studied, in vivo (in two groups of 5 PD patients each) and in vitro, the Embden-Meyerhof pathway (EMP) because it represents a potential target for the unphysiological effects of lactate or bicarbonate buffers. The EMP is the main glucose-utilizing route in the red blood cell (RBC), producing energy and reducing power. The enzymatic activities of the key steps in the glycolytic pathway and the energy charge (EC), determined by the levels of phosphorylated adenine nucleotides, were investigated spectrophotometrically and by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in two groups of patients undergoing lactate (L-group) and bicarbonate (B-group) PD, respectively. The in vitro effects of both bicarbonate and lactate buffers on some EMP enzyme activities and energy production ...

Lactate-buffered dialysis in cardiogenic shock associated with severe combined lactic acidosis

Ndt Plus, 2008

The level of lactate that would serve as cut-off for contraindication of lactate buffer is so far unclear. An acute exogenous load of lactate does not affect the basal endogenous lactate production and metabolism. It is also well metabolized in patients suffering from acute renal failure and severe sepsis with a compromised haemodynamic status. We report a case of extreme lactic acidosis in a patient admitted with a combination of cardiogenic shock, uraemia and suspected accumulation of biguanide. The patient was successfully treated with lactate-buffered dialysis due to the accidental absence of the bicarbonate-buffered fluids.

Bicarbonate haemodialysis: an adequate treatment for lactic acidosis in diabetics treated by metformin

Intensive Care Medicine, 1987

Lactic acidosis in diabetics on metformin therapy is rare but still associated with poor prognosis. The authors report here five cases. Three patients were initially with a cardiovascular collapse and all had an acute renal failure. Sodium bicarbonate haemodialysis therapy led to a dramatic improvement. Consciousness and hemodynamic status recovered rapidly. Severe metabolic and blood gases derangements were also rapidly corrected. Plasma metformin removal, appreciated by repeated blood samplings in 3 cases, was satisfactory. All patients survived. However, blood metformin levels remained abnormally high at the end of the dialytic therapy. In conclusion, (1) bicarbonate dialysis is an adequate treatment of lactic acidosis observed in diabetic patients treated with metformin since it rapidly corrects the acid-base disorders and partially removes metformin; (2) the sole accumulation of metformin is not sufficient to explain lactic acidosis since this latter might be corrected in spite of persisting high levels of blood metformin.

Sodium Bicarbonate Treatment during Transient or Sustained Lactic Acidemia in Normoxic and Normotensive Rats

PLoS ONE, 2012

Introduction: Lactic acidosis is a frequent cause of poor outcome in the intensive care settings. We set up an experimental model of lactic acid infusion in normoxic and normotensive rats to investigate the systemic effects of lactic acidemia per se without the confounding factor of an underlying organic cause of acidosis. Methodology: Sprague Dawley rats underwent a primed endovenous infusion of L(+) lactic acid during general anesthesia. Normoxic and normotensive animals were then randomized to the following study groups (n = 8 per group): S) sustained infusion of lactic acid, S+B) sustained infusion+sodium bicarbonate, T) transient infusion, T+B transient infusion+sodium bicarbonate. Hemodynamic, respiratory and acid-base parameters were measured over time. Lactate pharmacokinetics and muscle phosphofructokinase enzyme's activity were also measured.
