Abstract:
A dialysis solution comprising:(a) a first individual solution comprising calcium ions, electrolyte salts and optionally glucose in a concentration of not more than 1000 mM; (b) a second individual solution optionally comprising glucose in a concentration different from that of the first individual solution, and the remaining components in the same concentration as that of the first individual solution; and (c) a third individual solution comprising a buffer; wherein at least one of the first individual solution and the second individual solution contains glucose and wherein each of the first and second individual solutions which comprise glucose is acidified to a pH lower than 3.0; wherein the first, second and third solutions are combined to form a combined solution having a total glucose so as to be administered, wherein the combined solution is such that the glucose will not be substantially degraded upon being heat sterilized; and wherein by varying the volume of the first solution with respect to the volume of the second solution, the total glucose concentration can be altered, while the concentrations of the remaining components having identical concentrations in the first and second individual solutions remain the same.
