Trace Elements and Regular Dialysis

  • Chapter
Replacement of Renal Function by Dialysis

Abstract

Although the emphasis on identifying uremic toxins has centered around organic compounds, it is now apparent that inorganic solutes also may be responsible for some of the symptomatology of the uremic state. The importance of such electrolyte disturbances as the cardiac and neuromuscular effects of hyperkalemia and hypermagnesemia, the extraskeletal calcification caused by hyperphosphatemia and hypertension induced by excess body sodium and water have been studied repeatedly. However, little attention has been directed toward trace element disturbances and their physiological consequences in dialyzed uremic patients.
