Popis: We describe a patient who suffered from renal failure-associated pericarditis and underwent daily 3.5-hour hemodialysis treatments for 17 days. The initially elevated serum phosphorus level gradually fell to below normal on days 11 and 12 as a result of the intensive dialytic therapy. Phosphorus was added to the "base concentrate" of a dual-concentrate, bicarbonate-based dialysate delivery system on days 13 to 17. Because of this phosphorus-enrichment, we were able to maintain the patient's serum phosphorus levels within normal limits in spite of continued daily dialysis treatments.
