PHYSIONEAL FORMULATION
- Bicarbonate first used for PD by Boen, 1961
- Feriani (1985) recommend bic level of 30 mM
- Buffer level of 33 mmol/L too low to correct acidosis in a majority of patients (compared to PD4; Cancarini, 1992-3; published 1998). Need to increase buffer level
- 38 mmol/L: supranormal bicarbonate level Combination of 25 mmol/L bicarbonate + 15 mmol/L lactate
