Extra-, intrazellulärer Kaliumgehalt, Blutdruck und Ekg bei experimentellem Kaliumentzug mittels Hämodialyse

Electrocardiographic Changes and Plasma Potassium Levels in Patients on Regular Haemodialysis

“…5). Between February 1968 and June 1969 (15 months) we used a concentration of 1.5 mEq of potassium per litre of dialysate fluid (Papadimitriou et al, 1968) and had no deaths from hyperkalaemia in 296 patient-months. Hypokalaemia has never been a serious problem, and this is in agreement with Seedat (1969).…”

“…Hypokalaemia with associated electrocardiographic (E.C.G.) changes has been noted during potassium-free dialysis (Klutsch, 1965).…”
