Abstract
Blood acetate, lactate, pyruvate and glucose have been measured in two groups of patients undergoing haemodialysis; five patients with acute or terminal chronic renal failure who had not previously been dialysed and five patients on chronic haemodialysis. There were significant rises in blood levels of all these compounds, with no significant differences between the two groups. It is concluded that the body is capable of metabolising the acetate received during haemodialysis even in advanced uraemia.
