High sodium dialysis method (HINAM) is applied to prevent disequibrium syndrom and to remove the excess water from the patient without any untoward symptoms. We tried to clarify the mechanism of this method by means of the ratio of the removal of water (ΔBW/DW) and the ratio of plasma protein level (Pri/Prf).
The results of this study are as follows; 1) It is suggested that the effect of the removal of water on the changes of plasma volume in HINAM is less than that in conventional dialysate method. 2) The frequency of untoward symptoms is more significantly decreased with high sodium dialysate. 3) Dry weight of the patient in HINAM is reduced by approximately 2.5kg compared with that in conventional sodium dialysate method.
