[Changes of calcium-phosphorus metabolism in patients with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis treatment]. / Modificaciones del metabolismo calcio-fósforo en pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica en régimen de hemodiálisis

Hemodialysis induced changes in calcium (Ca) and phosphorous (P) metabolism are studied in a group of ten (10) patients with chronic renal failure. There was a significant rise in total serum calcium (Ca), that was closely related to changes in serum proteins level, and a very significant decrease in serum phosphorous (P). Calcium levels of 7 to 8 mgs/100 cc in the dialyzer fluid were considered ideale.
