Biofiltration with bicarbonate as dialysate buffer.

The biofiltration with bicarbonate as dialysate buffer (BiBF) was used in 10 patients on RDT: the patients were treated for 10 months on standard BF and for 10 months on BiBF. The amount of fluid infused varied between 3 and 5 liters and Na-bicarbonate (100 mEq/h) was infused during BF. The dialytic protocol was 3 hours every other day. Cardiovascular stability, waste molecules and acid-base balance were investigated. No differences in vascular stability and no significant changes in the waste-molecules concentrations were found. Both protocols correct the metabolic acidosis; however, in standard BF 50% of patients showed acute hypocapnia at the end of dialysis.

Favourable effects of bicarbonate dialysis on the body pool of phosphate.

An intravenous infusion of 3,430mg of PO4- has been given to 11 patients on acetate and to 11 patients on bicarbonate haemodialysis. The 'phosphate spaces' and dialytic removal were determined. The bicarbonate dialysis causes lower values of phosphate pool, total phosphate space, cellular space and phosphate cellular clearance. There is also a greater phosphate removal during bicarbonate dialysis. The better correction of metabolic acidosis and the absence of acetate metabolism are two factors which may be responsible for these phenomena.

Muzolimine in advanced chronic renal failure.

27 patients with creatinine clearances ranging from 20 to 2 ml/min were treated daily with 6.9 mg/kg of muzolimine, for 10 to 25 days. The hyperhydration state with oedema decreased gradually in all patients without hypotensive phenomena. Muzolimine benefited hypertension in patients with expansion of the extracellular space and it also strengthened the effect of clonidine or minoxidil. Important diuretic and natriuretic effects were obtained. Metabolic acidosis improved. No subjective adverse reactions to the drug or side effects were noted. High-dose muzolimine appears to be efficacious and safe for short-term treatment in patients with severe chronic renal failure.

Function of the kidney in adult patients with Cooley's disease. A preliminary report.

The function of the kidney in adult subjects with Cooley's disease has been hitherto inadequately investigated. In 10 patients suffering from thalassemia major, glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow, renal blood flow have been studied, together with urine concentration capacity. The authors emphasize certain pathological changes, such as the increase in renal plasma flow and the failure of the urine concentration ability. On the basis of renal biopsies, two pathogenetic theories are discussed: the functional impairment of the coutercurrent system and fibrosis of the medullary tissue.
