Background: Hyperkalaemia is common in patients with advanced renal disease. In this double-blind, randomized, three-sequence, crossover study, we compared the effect of three dialysate bicarbonate concentrations ([HCO3-]) on the kinetics of serum potassium (K+) reduction during a conventional haemodialysis (HD) session in chronic HD patients.

Methods: We studied eight stable HD patients.

Article Synopsis
  • Gland size and DNA concentration decreased due to chronic heat exposure (34°C), while amylase activity and its specific activity increased.
  • Subcellular fractions, excluding the plasma membrane, showed significant decreases, indicating reduced gland activity.
  • Overall, chronic heat slows gland protein production but does not affect acinar function for producing and storing exportable proteins, with reduced gland size attributed to hypoplasia.
