[Changes in the plasma values of glucose, free fatty acids, triglycerides and cholesterol in terminal kidney failure during hemodialysis]

Abstract

Glucose, free fatty acids, triglycerides and cholesterol in serum were determined in 14 patients during one of the dialysis with terminal renal insufficiency, kept on chronic hemodialysis, at two-hours intervals. None of the patients had severe hyperlipidemia prior to dialysis. A moderate elevation of glucose level developed with a distinct increase of the free fatty acids valued after hemodialysis with a relatively high glucose content in dialyse solution. Elevated triglyceride values were found in single patients, whereas cholesterol was practically kept unchanged.
