Four co-operating centers evaluated the effects of a new dialysis solution containing 40 mEq/1 of lactate and 0.5 mEq/1 of magnesium on serum total CO2 and magnesium concentrations. The new solution yielded significant increases in serum CO2 and decreases in serum magnesium compared to the standard (35 mEq/1 of lactate and 1.5 mEq/1 of magnesium) solution.
