| Abstract | Potassium ion $(K^{+})$ kinetics in intra and extracellular compartments during hemodialysis was studied by means of a double-pool computer model which included potassium-dependent active transport (Na-K-ATPase pump) in thirty-four patients (21M/13F; aged 66 plusmn 22 years old, dry weight 68 plusmn 18 kg, height 160 plusmn 15 cm) on renal replacement therapy with thrice weekly 4 hour double-needle hemodialysis. Each patient was studied during acetate free biofiltration (AFB) with a constant $K^{+}$ dialysate concentration $(K_{CONST}$ therapy) and with a time-varying (profiled) $K^{+}$ dialysate concentration $(K_{PROF}$ therapy). The two therapies induced different levels of $K^{+}$ plasma concentration $(K_{CONST}:$ 3.6plusmn0.8 vs. $K_{PROF}:$ 4.0plusmn0.7 mmol/L, time-averaged values, p<0.01). The computer model was tuned to accurately fit plasmatic $K^{+}$ measured in the course of $K_{CONST}$ and $K_{PROF}$ therapies and was then used to simulate the kinetics of intra and extracellular $K^{+}.$ Model-based analysis showed that almost all the $K^{+}$ removal in the first 90 minutes of dialysis was mainly derived from the extracellular compartment. The different $K^{+}$ time course in the dialysate and the consequently different Na-K pump activity resulted in a different sharing of removed potassium mass at the end of dialysis: 55+17% from the extracellular compartment in $K^{+}$ $_{PROF}$ vs. 41plusmn14% in $K^{+}$ $_{CONST}.$ These results suggest that the Na-K pump plays a major role in $K^{+}$ apportionment between extracellular and intracellular compartments, and potassium dialysate concentration strongly influences pump activity. For this reason the computer-model here presented may represent a useful tool to quantitatively assess the impact of dialysate potassium on $K^{+}$ kinetics in intra and extracellular compartments and to design dialysate potassium content tailored to the patient's needs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
