RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Blood gas analysis (BGA), including measurement of ionized calcium, is performed routinely in patients with end stage renal disease on renal replacement therapy, especially when using citrate for regional anticoagulation. After installation of a new blood gas analyzer (RAPIDpoint 405; BGA), we observed lower ionized calcium concentrations in a few patients without signs of hypocalcemia, whereas calcium concentrations were normal using a standard laboratory method. Pseudohypocalcemia was of limited duration and correlated with the short-term intake of sodium perchlorate monohydrate (Irenat). METHODS: We prepared dilution series from whole blood samples and stock solutions of calcium and perchlorate with different concentrations of ionized calcium and perchlorate. Measurement of ionized calcium concentrations was performed using two different blood gas analyzers (RAPIDpoint 405; BGA and Roche AVL 9180; standard laboratory method). RESULTS: After addition of different amounts of perchlorate, significant lower ionized calcium concentrations were measured with BGA compared to the standard laboratory method using either preparations from whole blood samples or stock solutions. The addition of potassium or methylene blue known to complex perchlorate had no effect on the concentrations of ionized calcium measured with BGA. Using different mathematical methods, a calculation of the "real" ionized calcium concentration from the value measured with BGA was not possible. CONCLUSIONS: Based on our experiments, we confirm the hypothesis that perchlorate can influence the measurement of ionized calcium by BGA. As the effect depends on the ion selective electrode that is used, it is advisable to test the blood gas analyzer with calcium and perchlorate solutions.

RESUMO

Direct adsorption of lipoproteins (DALI) is the first low density lipoprotein (LDL)-apheresis technology by which atherogenic LDL and lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) can be selectively removed from whole blood without plasma separation. The present follow-up was carried out to evaluate the clinical efficacy, selectivity and safety of long-term DALI apheresis. The follow-up was carried out in an open, prospective uncontrolled multicenter clinical design. Included were 158 drug-resistant hypercholesterolemic patients from 28 apheresis centers. These patients underwent 12 291 DALI sessions between January 1997 and March 2002. The patients suffered from severe atherosclerosis and their mean LDL-C was 188 mg/dL before the sessions. Mean follow-up was 25 +/- 16 (range 1-56) months during which 78 +/- 53 sessions were carried out. In most treatments, DALI 750 (63%) or DALI 1000 (30%) adsorbers were used. On average, 7423 +/- 1495 mL blood was processed at a flow rate of 84 +/- 16 mL/min in 102 +/- 25 min. Acute reductions by the single DALI sessions averaged 69 +/- 12% for LDL-C, 41 +/- 18% for TG, 15 +/- 10% for HDL-C, 19 +/- 11% for fibrinogen and 62 +/- 24% for Lp(a) (in patients with Lp(a) > 30 mg/dL). Adverse events were recorded in only 3.9% of the sessions. In this 5-year follow-up, long-term therapy with DALI was safe, effective and selective as LDL-C and Lp(a) could be reduced by >60% per session in approximately 100 min treatment time while HDL-C decrease and the incidence of AE were low.
