Abstract
ALBALATE, Marta et al. Follow a recipe to prescribe phosphate during hemodialysis. Nefrología (Madr.) [online]. 2017, vol.37, n.1, pp.34-38. ISSN 1989-2284. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nefro.2016.04.005.
The addition of phosphorus (P) to the dialysate (LD) in the form of enema Casen® is common practice in patients with hypophosphatemia. The estimation of the amount to be used and the identification of the problems that may can occur are not well defined. As a result of our work we propose a practical approach of how to proceed to increase phosphate concentration in the hemodialysate. We present a reasoned formula to calculate how much enema has to be added and the problems that may arise.
