<p>A dialysis solution having improved characteristics is prepared by (1) preparing a concentrated sodium bicarbonate solution by dissolving a particulate admixture comprising sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and, optionally, potassium chloride, dextrose and other physiologically acceptable materials unreactive to sodium bicarbonate in the presence of water; (2) preferably separately diluting: (a) an acid-containing highly concentrated calcium salt solution which optionally can also contain magnesium ions and minor amounts of other physiologically acceptable metal ions, and (b) the concentrated sodium bicarbonate solution; and (3) admixing the two resulting diluted solutions to form the desired dialysis solution. A composition is provided for making the sodium bicarbonate solution and this is in the form of a particulate admixture comprising sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and, optionally, potassium chloride dextrose and other physiologically acceptable materials which, in aqueous solution, are unreactive to sodium bicarbonate. There is also provided a composition comprising an acid-containing highly concentrated calcium salt solution which optionally can also contain magnesium ions and minor amounts of other physiologically acceptable metal ions for use in the preparation of the dialysis solution.</p> |
