How Acetate Formulation [Hemodialysis Solution] works — key points: • Calcium chloride is used to prevent or treat negative calcium balance. • It also regulates action potential excitation threshold to facilitate nerve and muscle performance. • Potassium chloride is a major cation of the intracellular fluid. • It plays an active role in the conduction of nerve impulses in the heart, brain and skeletal muscle; contraction of cardiac skeletal and smooth muscles; maintenance of normal renal function, acid-base balance, carbohydrate metabolism and gastric secretion. • Magnessium Chloride acts as cofactor in numerous enzymatic reactions involving protein synthesis and carbohydrate metabolism; depresses CNS, blocks peripheral neuromuscular transmission, produces anticonvulsant effects. • Sodium chloride is the major extracellular cation. • It is important in electrolyte and fluid balance, osmotic pressure control and water distribution as it restores sodium ions. • It is used as a source of electrolytes and water for hydration, treatment of metabolic acidosis, priming solution in haemodialysis and treatment of hyperosmolar diabetes. • It is also used as diluents for infusion of compatible drug additives..
