Abstract
We report a grave case of metabolic alkalosis during haemodialsis with bicarbonate, in which the connections of the two components A and B w ere exchanged. This complication was resolved without any consequences by rapid diagnosis and the continuation of the haemodialysis with ace tate. We comment on the characteristics of both dialysis fluids, when studied in simulated dialyses.
