Summary: | Boron and strontium concentrations in blood plasma of controls and hemodialyzed patients from two Centers were determined by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry.
Boron concentrations in blood plasma were respectively, in controls 2.6 ± 0.9
μmol/l and in hemodialyzed patients 16.1 ± 5.6
μmol/l before the dialysis session and 9.5 ± 3.2
μmol/l at the end. The decrease in blood plasma during the dialysis was concomitant with an increase in the dialysis fluid (1.2 ± 0.7
μmol/l at the beginning and 4.6 ± 1.8
μmol/l at the end).
Strontium concentrations in blood plasma were respectively, in controls 0.22 ± 0.06
μmol/l and in hemodialyzed patients 0.62 ± 0.24
μmol/l before the dialysis session and 0.64 ± 0.14
μmol/l at the end. The mean concentration of strontium in the dialysis fluid was the same before (0.49 ± 0.11
μmol/l) and after the dialysis session (0.49 ± 0.10
μmol/l), but a transfer between plasma and dialysis fluid was shown by individual changes.
Some considerations about these results are put forward but their possible clinical consequences are not yet known. |
