Effect of dialysate composition on intercompartmental fluid shift and hemodynamics was studied in 12 patients during 1.5 or 2 hours of hemodialysis without net ultrafiltration, using high (H;Na 154 mmol/liter), normal (N;Na 140 mmol/liter) or low (L:Na 126 mmol/liter) concentration dialysate. H dialysate was associated with a small (0.9%) increase in blood volume, a larger increase in plasma volume and a decrease in erythrocyte volume. L dialysate resulted in a 2.3% decrease in blood volume, a larger decrease in plasma volume and an increase in erythrocyte volume. N dialysate gave results which were intermediately between the other two dialysis conditions. There was no difference in the post-dialysis mean arterial pressure between the groups, although heart rate increased more during H dialysis than during the other two conditions. Change in blood and erythrocyte volume correlated significantly with change in plasma Na concentration and osmolality, but not with change in plasma urea concentration. We conclude that dialysate composition affects the movement of water into and out of the plasma and erythrocytes in a manner that can be accounted for by altered plasma concentrations of osmotically active substances.
