Table 12 below provides examples of how these same constituents are affected as the
prescribed Final Dialysate bicarbonate instead changes, first from the nominal 33 mEq/L (34
mEq/L for Citrasate®) to the lowest limit of 20 mEq/L and then the highest limit of 40
mEq/L. These changes to the dialysate composition keep the prescribed Final Dialysate
sodium level constant.
