Popis: The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in calcium and potassium content in the red blood cells (RBC) of uremic patients during a hemodialysis (HD) session and a 6/hrs CAPD exchange. RBC calcium and potassium were determined in 20 patients on HD in three blood samples collected at 0′-HD (pre-HD), 45′-HD and 240′-HD (end-HD), in 20 patients on CAPD, in two blood samples, collected at 0′ time (pre-inflow) and 120′, (solution in peritoneal cavity) during a 6/hrs exchange (4 exchanges / 24 h) and in 20 normal subjects. The mean value (±SD) of RBC calcium in controls was 15.6 ± 3.75 μmol/L, in hemodialysed patients at 0′-HD, 45′-HD and 240′-HD 51.5 ± 8.5, 70.4 ± 12.5 and 51.1 ± 10 μmol/L respectively and CAPD patients at time 0′ and 120 of an exchange 53.6 ± 23.4 and 70.6 ± 9.2 respectively. These values show that RBC calcium in hemodialysed patients is generally significantly higher (p < 0.0001) than in controls. The value at 45′-HD is also significantly higher (p < 0.0001) than at 0′ or 240′-HD. In CAPD patients, at 0′ and 120′ of a 6/hrs exchange, it is significantly higher (p < 0.0001) than in controls, as is the value at 120′ (p < 0.001) in comparison to 0′. The mean value (±SD) of RBC potassium at the aforementioned time measurements were 95.9 ± 3.34, 92.5 ± 4.32 and 93.85 ± 3.89 mmol/L respectively for patients on HD, 95 ± 3.3 and 94.6 ± 5.28 mmol/L respectively for patients on CAPD and 99.1 ± 3.70 mmol/L in controls. These values show that RBC potassium of hemodialysed patients is significantly lower in comparison to that of controls (0′-HD: p < 0.01, 45′-HD and 240′-HD: p < 0.001); also the value at 45′-HD and 240′-HD is significantly lower (p < 0.001, p < 0.01 respectively) when compared to that at 0′-HD. In patients on CAPD, at 0′ time and 120′ during 6/hrs exchange, potassium is significantly lower (p < 0.001) in comparison to that of controls. In conclusion, uremic patients present high erythrocyte calcium and low potassium with fluctuations during HD-sessions and CAPD 6/hrs exchange.
