Abstract
BACKGROUND Naproxen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is used to treat various painful conditions including postoperative pain, and is often administered as the sodium salt to improve its solubility. This review updates a 2004 Cochrane review showing that naproxen sodium 550 mg (equivalent to naproxen 500 mg) was effective for treating postoperative pain. New studies have since been published. OBJECTIVES To assess efficacy, duration of action, and associated adverse events of single dose oral naproxen or naproxen sodium in acute postoperative pain in adults. SEARCH STRATEGY We searched Cochrane CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Oxford Pain Relief Database for studies to October 2008. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled trials of single dose orally administered naproxen or naproxen sodium in adults with moderate to severe acute postoperative pain. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently assessed trial quality and extracted data. Pain relief or pain intensity data were extracted and converted into the dichotomous outcome of number of participants with at least 50% pain relief over four to six hours, from which relative risk and number-needed-to-treat-to-benefit (NNT) were calculated. Numbers of participants using rescue medication over specified time periods, and time to use of rescue medication, were sought as additional measures of efficacy. Information on adverse events and withdrawals were collected. MAIN RESULTS The original review included 10 studies with 996 participants. This updated review included 15 studies (1509 participants); 11 assessed naproxen sodium and four naproxen. In nine studies (784 participants) using 500/550 mg naproxen or naproxen sodium the NNT for at least 50% pain relief over four to six hours was 2.7 (95% CI 2.3 to 3.2). No dose response was demonstrated over the range 200/220 mg to 500/550 mg, but limited data was identified. Median time to use of rescue medication was 8.9 hours for naproxen 500/550 mg and 2.0 hours for placebo. Use of rescue medication was significantly less common with naproxen than placebo. Associated adverse events were generally of mild to moderate severity and rarely led to withdrawal. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Doses equivalent to 500 mg and 400 mg naproxen administered orally provided effective analgesia to adults with moderate to severe acute postoperative pain. About half of participants treated with these doses experienced clinically useful levels of pain relief, compared to 15% with placebo, and half required additional medication within nine hours, compared to two hours with placebo. Associated adverse events did not differ from placebo.

Abstract
Transcriptional dysregulation in Huntington's disease (HD) is mediated in part by aberrant patterns of histone acetylation. We performed a dose-finding study in human HD of sodium phenylbutyrate (SPB), a histone deacetylase inhibitor that ameliorates the HD phenotype in animal models. We used a dose-escalation/de-escalation design, using prespecified toxicity criteria and standard clinical and laboratory safety measures. The maximum tolerated dose was 15 g/day. At higher doses, toxicity included vomiting, lightheadedness, confusion, and gait instability. We saw no significant laboratory or electrocardiographic abnormalities. Gene expression changes in blood suggested an inverse dose-response. In conclusion, SPB at 12 to 15 g/day appears to be safe and well-tolerated in human HD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE While evaluating the effectiveness of drugs used for the prophylaxis of acid aspiration of gastric contents, the impact of duodeno-gastric reflux on gastric contents has not been studied earlier. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of preanaesthetic oral administration of sodium rabeprazole on pH and volume of gastric contents in adult patients undergoing elective surgery by excluding cases contaminated with duodeno-gastric refluxate. METHODS The patients in group C (control) in the triple blind placebo controlled trial received placebo while group S sodium rabeprazole 20 mg orally at 2100 h, a night before elective surgery. Next day, gastric contents were aspirated with a large bore, multi-orifices gastric tube passed through an endotracheal tube placed blindly in oesophagus after tracheal intubation and analyzed for the presence of bile salts, pH and volume. The pH and volume of gastric contents were the primary and duodeno-gastric reflux secondary outcome measures of the study. RESULTS The pH and volume of group S-2 were 3.97+/-1.78 and 9.48+/-8.39 ml respectively compared with 1.90+/-0.47 and 19.60+/-18.56 ml of group C-2. Sodium rabeprazole, after excluding contaminated cases with duodeno-gastric refluxate, significantly increased the pH (P<0.001), decreased the volume of gastric contents (P<0.005) and the proportion of the patients (30.76 vs 2.63%) considered at risk compared with placebo (P<0.001) according to the criteria defined (pH < 2.5 and volume > 25 ml). Thirty nine samples (33.33%) out of 117 were contaminated with duodenal contents. Duodenogastric reflux significantly (P<0.001) affected pH and volume of gastric in both groups C-1 vs C-2 and S-1 vs S-2. INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSION Sodium rabeprazole 20 mg given orally a night before surgery provided adequate prophylaxis for acid aspiration syndrome at the time of induction of anaesthesia and duodeno-gastric reflux significantly affected both the pH and volume of gastric contents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare vitrification and choline-supplemented sodium-depleted slow freezing of mouse oocytes. DESIGN Animal study. SETTING University-affiliated hospital. ANIMAL(S) CD-1 mice. INTERVENTION(S) Oocyte cryopreservation by vitrification or choline-supplemented sodium-depleted slow freezing. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Survival rate, fertilization and embryonic development in vitro, meiotic spindle and chromosome configuration, and aneuploidy screening after parthenogenetic activation. RESULT(S) A total of 564 oocytes were vitrified, and 791 oocytes were cryopreserved using the slow freezing. The survival rates were 91.8% (518/564) and 73.3% (579/791), respectively. After IVF, the cleavage and blastocyst formation rates of vitrified oocytes were significantly higher than those of slow-frozen oocytes (63.6% vs. 39.9% and 30.50% vs. 20.2%, respectively). Vitrified oocytes were more likely than slow-frozen oocytes to maintain normal meiotic spindles and chromosome alignment (86.9% vs. 70.1%). However, the incidence of aneuploidy was similar in vitrified oocytes and slow-frozen oocytes (9.30% vs. 8.7%). CONCLUSION(S) Vitrification is superior to choline-supplemented sodium-depleted slow freezing, leading to improved survival, fertilization, and embryonic development in vitro. Analysis of meiotic spindle integrity and chromosome alignment indicates that less damage was detected in vitrified oocytes. However, the incidence of aneuploidy is similar in both vitrified and slow-frozen oocytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary electrolytes influence blood pressure, but their effect on clinical outcomes remains to be established. We examined sodium and potassium intake in relation to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality in an unselected older population. METHODS A case-cohort analysis was performed in the Rotterdam Study among subjects aged 55 years and over, who were followed for 5 years. Baseline urinary samples were analyzed for sodium and potassium in 795 subjects who died, 206 with an incident myocardial infarction and 181 subjects with an incident stroke, and in 1,448 randomly selected subjects. For potassium, dietary data were additionally obtained by food-frequency questionnaire for 78% of the cohort. RESULTS There was no consistent association of urinary sodium, potassium, or sodium/potassium ratio with CVD and all-cause mortality over the range of intakes observed in this population. Dietary potassium estimated by food frequency questionnaire, however, was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality in subjects initially free of CVD and hypertension (RR = 0.71 per standard deviation increase; 95% confidence interval: 0.51-1.00). We observed a significant positive association between urinary sodium/potassium ratio and all-cause mortality, but only in overweight subjects who were initially free of CVD and hypertension (RR = 1.19 (1.02-1.39) per unit). CONCLUSION The effect of sodium and potassium intake on CVD morbidity and mortality in Western societies remains to be established.

Abstract
During progressive blood loss several mechanisms act in concert to compensate for the reduced intravascular volume with the overall aim to provide sufficient blood supply to vital organs. The hemodynamic responses in this situation follow a characteristic course of events in conscious individuals with an initial phase of largely maintained blood pressure and tachycardia followed by an abrupt fall in pressure, accompanied by bradycardia and widespread inhibition of sympathetic nervous activity when 20-30% of the blood volume is lost. Our research has focussed on Na+ and angiotensin II effects on the brain for the cardiovascular compensatory mechanisms in response to hypotensive hemorrhage in sheep. We have found that intracerebroventricular infusion of hypertonic NaCl solution improves the tolerance to blood loss, i.e., increases the amount of blood loss needed to induce hypotension. Inhalation anesthesia abolished this effect of the infusion. Similarly, corresponding infusions of angiotensin II also increased the resistance to blood loss in conscious animals only, although accompanied by different hemodynamic compensatory mechanisms. The effects of intracerebroventricular hypertonic NaCl infusion on cardiovascular compensation during hemorrhage are similar to those achieved with treatment of hemorrhagic shock with intravenous infusions of small volumes of hypertonic NaCl solutions. We therefore suggest that a substantial part of the beneficial effect of that treatment is mediated via direct effects of the hypernatremia on the brain. These observations also illustrate the need for further elucidation of more possible influences on autonomic functions by increased Na+ concentration which, together with hypovolemia, is a hallmark of dehydration.

Abstract
This study was conducted during the high-hormone phase of both natural and oral contraceptive pill (OCP)-mediated menstrual cycles to determine whether preexercise ingestion of a concentrated sodium beverage would increase plasma volume (PV), reduce physiological strain, and aid endurance of moderately trained women cycling in warm conditions. Thirteen trained cyclists [peak O2 uptake 52 ml·kg−1·min−1 (SD 2), age 26 yr (SD 6), weight 60.8 kg (SD 5)] who were oral contraceptive users ( n = 6) or not ( n = 7) completed this double-blind, crossover experiment. Cyclists ingested a concentrated-sodium (High Na+: 164 mmol Na+/l) or low-sodium (Low Na+: 10 mmol Na+/l) beverage (10 ml/kg) before cycling to exhaustion at 70% Peak O2 uptake in warm conditions (32°C, 50% relative humidity, air velocity 4.5 m/s). Beverage (∼628 ml) was ingested in seven portions across 60 min beginning 105 min before exercise, with no additional fluid given until the end of the trial. Trials were separated by one to two menstrual cycles. High Na+ increased PV (calculated from hematocrit and hemoglobin concentration) before exercise, whereas Low Na+ did not [−4.4 (SD 1.1) vs. −1.9% (SD 1.3); 95% confidence interval: for the difference 5.20, 6.92; P < 0.0001], and it involved greater time to exhaustion [98.8 (SD 25.6) vs. 78.7 (SD 24.6) min; 95% confidence interval: 13.3, 26.8; P < 0.0001]. Core temperature rose more quickly with Low Na+ [1.6°C/h (SD 0.2)] than High Na+ [1.2°C/h (SD 0.2); P = 0.04]. Plasma [AVP], [Na+] concentration, and osmolality, and urine volume, [Na+], and osmolality decreased with sodium loading ( P < 0.05) independent of pill usage. Thus preexercise ingestion of a concentrated sodium beverage increased PV, reduced thermoregulatory strain, and increased exercise capacity for women in the high-hormone phase of natural and oral contraceptive pill-mediated menstrual cycles, in warm conditions.

Abstract
This crossover study assessed the effectiveness of plain water (PW), sports drink (SD), fresh young coconut water (CW) and sodium-enriched fresh young coconut water (SCW) on whole body rehydration (R) and plasma volume (PV) restoration after exercise-induced dehydration. Ten healthy male subjects ran at 65% of VO2max in an environmental temperature of 32.06 +/- 0.02 degree C with a relative humidity (rh) of 53.32 +/- 0.17% for 90 minutes to lose 3% body weight (BW). During the 2-hour rehydration period, subjects drank, in randomized order, PW, SD, CW or SCW equivalent to 120% of BW lost in three boluses representing 50, 40 and 30% of the fluid lost at 0, 30, and 60 minutes, respectively. In all trials subjects were still somewhat dehydrated even after the 2-hour rehydration period. Indexes of percent rehydration with PW, SD, CW and SCW were 58 +/- 2, 68 +/- 2, 65+/- 2 and 69 +/- 1%, respectively, with significantly better rehydration with SD and SCW. The rehydration indexes for SD and SCW were significantly lower than PW (p < 0.01). PV was restored to euhydration levels after 2 hours of rehydration with SD, CW and SCW but not with PW. The plasma glucose concentration were significantly higher when SD, CW and SCW were ingested. SCW was similar in sweetness to CW and SD but caused less nausea and stomach upset compared to SD and PW. In conclusion, ingesting SCW was as good as ingesting a commercial sports drink for whole body rehydration after exercise-induced dehydration but with better fluid tolerance.

Abstract
AIM: To develop a new formulation with hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose and Shellac coating for extended and selective delivery of butyrate in the ileo-caecal region and colon.
METHODS: One-gram sodium butyrate coated tablets containing 13C-butyrate were orally administered to 12 healthy subjects and 12 Crohn’s disease patients and the rate of 13C-butyrate absorption was evaluated by 13CO2 breath test analysis for eight hours. Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (500 mg) was co-administered as a biomarker of oro-ileal transit time to determine also the site of release and absorption of butyrate by the time of its serum maximum concentration.
RESULTS: The coated formulation delayed the 13C-butyrate release by 2-3 h with respect to the uncoated tablets. Sodium butyrate was delivered in the intestine of all subjects and a more variable transit time was found in Crohn’s disease patients than in healthy subjects. The variability of the peak 13CO2 in the kinetic release of butyrate was explained by the inter-subject variability in transit time. However, the coating chosen ensured an efficient release of the active compound even in patients with a short transit time.
CONCLUSION: Simultaneous evaluation of breath 13CO2 and tauroursodeoxycholic acid concentration-time curves has shown that the new oral formulation consistently releases sodium butyrate in the ileo-cecal region and colon both in healthy subjects and Crohn’s disease patients with variable intestinal transit time. This formulation may be of therapeutic value in inflammatory bowel disease patients due to the appropriate release of the active compound.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although under-reporting of dietary intake is more common in persons with a high body mass index (BMI), it is not well known whether or not misreporting is selective for different foods (and hence energy and nutrients), particularly in non-Western populations. We examined misreporting of dietary intake against biomarkers and its relation with BMI in young Japanese women. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS A total of 353 female Japanese dietetic students aged 18-22 years (mean BMI: 21.4 kg/m(2), mean fat intake: 29.8% of energy). METHODS Misreporting of dietary energy, protein, potassium and sodium (assessed by a self-administered diet history questionnaire) was examined against respective biomarkers (estimated energy expenditure and 24-h urinary excretion). Reporting accuracy was calculated as the ratio of reported intake to that estimated from corresponding biomarkers (complete accuracy: 1.00). RESULTS Mean reporting accuracy of absolute intake (amount per day) varied considerably (0.86-1.14). Reporting accuracy of absolute intake decreased with increasing BMI (P for trend <0.001). However, no association was observed between reporting accuracy of energy-adjusted values and BMI (P for trend >0.15), indicating that BMI-dependent misreporting was canceled by energy adjustment. This was owing to positive correlation between the reporting accuracy of energy intake and that of absolute intake of the three nutrients (Pearson correlation coefficient: 0.49-0.67, P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Although differential misreporting of absolute intake was associated with BMI, differential misreporting of energy-adjusted value was not. These findings support the use of energy-adjusted values in the investigation of diet-disease relationships among lean populations with a low-fat intake.

Abstract
To demonstrate the effect of sodium supplementation and hypokinesia (HK; diminished movement) on the total bodily sodium (Na+) loss and tissue Na+ deficiency, tissue Na+ content, plasma Na+ level and Na+ loss were measured. Studies were conducted on male Wistar rats during a pre-experimental and experimental period. Animals were equally divided into four groups: unsupplemented vivarium control rats (UVCR), unsupplemented hypokinetic rats (UHKR), supplemented vivarium control rats (SVCR) and supplemented hypokinetic rats (SHKR). A daily supplementation of 3.50 mEq sodium chloride (NaCl) was given to animals in the SVCR and SHKR groups. Gastrocnemius muscle and right femur bone Na+ level decreased (p<0.05), and plasma Na+ level and urine and fecal Na+ loss increased (p<0.05) in the SHKR and UHKR groups compared to their pre-experimental values and the values in their respective vivarium control groups (SVCR and UVCR). Muscle and bone Na+ content decreased more (p<0.05), and plasma Na+ level and urine and fecal Na+ loss increased more (p<0.05) in the SHKR group than in the UHKR group. It is concluded that tissue Na+ deficiency during HK is more evident when Na+ intake is higher and that the total bodily Na+ loss exacerbated more with higher than lower tissue Na+ deficiency. This shows that tissue Na+ deficiency is not the result of the lower Na+ content in the food consumed and that the total bodily Na+ loss is not caused by the higher tissue Na+ content but due to the impossibility of the body to use Na+ when animals are submitted to prolonged HK.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was conducted to determine whether preexercise ingestion of a highly concentrated sodium beverage would increase plasma volume (PV) and reduce the physiological strain of moderately trained males running in the heat. METHODS Eight endurance-trained (.VO2max: 58 mL.kg(-1).min(-1) (SD 5); 36 yr (SD 11)) runners completed this double-blind, crossover experiment. Runners ingested a high-sodium (High Na+: 164 mmol Na+.L(-1)) or low-sodium (Low Na+: 10 mmol Na+.L(-1)) beverage (10 mL.kg(-1)) before running to exhaustion at 70% .VO2max in warm conditions (32 degrees C, 50% RH, V(a) approximately equal to 1.5 m.s(-1)). Beverages (approximately 757 mL) were ingested in seven portions across 60 min beginning 105 min before exercise. Trials were separated by 1-3 wk. Heart rate and core and skin temperatures were measured throughout exercise. Urine and venous blood were sampled before and after drinking and exercise. RESULTS High Na+ increased PV before exercise (4.5% (SD 3.7)), calculated from Hct and [Hb]), whereas Low Na+ did not (0.0% (SD 0.5); P = 0.04), and involved greater time to exercise termination in the six who stopped because of an ethical end point (core temperature 39.5 degrees C: 57.9 min (SD 6) vs 46.4 min (SD 4); P = 0.04) and those who were exhausted (96.1 min (SD 22) vs 75.3 min (SD 21); P = 0.03; High Na+ vs Low Na+, respectively). At equivalent times before exercise termination, High Na+ also resulted in lower core temperature (38.9 vs 39.3 degrees C; P = 0.00) and perceived exertion (P = 0.01) and a tendency for lower heart rate (164 vs 174 bpm; P = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS Preexercise ingestion of a high-sodium beverage increased plasma volume before exercise and involved less thermoregulatory and perceived strain during exercise and increased exercise capacity in warm conditions.

Abstract
During pregnancy and lactation the need not only for the energy intake increases but also for some mineral elements. The basic source of mineral elements and other chemical elements for the human organism is food. For the increased need for minerals, proper selection of food products is vital and sometimes extremely difficult to do. The article covers some of the reasons for increased need for mineral elements of pregnant and feeding women. In the first part we described the proper sources of macro minerals such as Ca, Mg, P, Na, K, CIland highlighted the factors that determine their bioavailability.

Abstract
The effect of sodium in human blood pressure has been a contentious subject of considerable debate for decades. Nonetheless, it is generally conceded that there is heterogeneity to alterations in sodium and extracellular fluid volume in the blood pressure responses of normal and hypertensive humans. Although there are many forms of experimental and clinical hypertension that are clearly related to abnormalities of sodium handling and metabolism, it has been only the advent of the genetic revolution that has provided critical new insight into the mechanisms involved in many of these conditions. In this review, the clinical manifestations of salt sensitivity and several clinical syndromes associated with abnormal sodium metabolism are discussed, and factors that appear to be involved in many of the clinical abnormalities as well as relevant new insights derived from basic research are elucidated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid therapy in children may be associated with iatrogenic hyponatraemia. We surveyed anaesthetists' current fluid prescribing practice during the perioperative period, departmental fluid protocols and awareness of the concerns of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) about the use of dextrose 4%/saline 0.18% in children. METHODS Questionnaire survey of 477 consultant anaesthetists in two training areas in the UK. RESULTS Responses were received from 289 anaesthetists (60.6%)--responses from the 203 consultants that anaesthetized children were analysed. A total of 67.7% did not have a local departmental policy for fluid prescription, and 58.1% were unaware of the concerns of RCPCH. A total of 60.1% of anaesthetists said that they prescribed hypotonic dextrose saline solutions in the intraoperative period and 75.2% did so in the postoperative period. Anaesthetists working in specialist paediatric hospitals were 5.1 times more likely to prescribe isotonic fluids intraoperatively than those working in district hospitals (95% CI 1.48-17.65, P=0.01), but they all prescribed hypotonic dextrose saline solutions postoperatively. The Holliday and Segar formula for maintenance fluid was quoted by 81.8% of anaesthetists; only 5.9% of anaesthetists would restrict fluids in the immediate postoperative period. Anaesthetists working in specialist paediatric hospitals were 13.2 times more likely to restrict fluids postoperatively than those working in district hospitals (95% CI 2.8-61.8, P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS The prescription of hypotonic dextrose saline solutions by anaesthetists may be putting children at risk from iatrogenic hyponatraemia. Departmental protocols for perioperative fluid prescription in children are uncommon. We suggest that national guidance is required.

Abstract
Under certain circumstances, central oxytocin (OT) pathways inhibit dietary intake of NaCl in rats and mice. C57BL/6 OT knockout (OT KO) mice were reported to consume greater amounts of saline solution than wild type (WT) cohorts when both were water deprived overnight. In this study, we determined that OT KO and WT mice of C57BL/6 strain demonstrate an equivalent taste aversion for continuously available 0.2 M, 0.3 M or 0.5 M NaCl. The aversion was proportional to the concentration of NaCl, similar to what has been reported in rats. Furthermore, OT KO and WT animals ingested the same daily amounts of a low, 0.01%, regular, 1.0%, and a high, 8.0%, NaCl diet that was provided ad libitum as a single choice. While consuming these diets, mice were given the choice to drink water or saline (0.5 M NaCl). As the amount of NaCl in the diet increased, mice of both genotypes significantly decreased the consumption of saline solution to an equal degree. Additionally, in an experimental model of sustained dehydration previously developed in rats, 0.5 M NaCl was the only available drinking fluid. Like rats subjected to this paradigm, OT KO and WT mice decreased food intake, decreased body weight and increased fluid ingestion with no genotypic differences. These findings suggest that oxytocinergic neuronal pathways cannot be the only regulator of ad libitum intake of NaCl in drinking solutions or diet. It appears that OT pathways may be more critical in controlling NaCl intake over brief intervals when an animal is quickly compensating for a dehydrating stimulus.

Abstract
From 2003 to 2005, deaths of 3 individuals as a result of cardiac arrest caused by hypocalcemia during chelation therapy were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Two were children, both of whom were treated with edetate disodium. At the time of this writing, the adult case was still under investigation. No previous cases of death resulting from hypocalcemia during chelation have been reported. From our experience and review of the literature, we suggest that health care providers who are unfamiliar with chelation consult an expert before undertaking treatment and that hospital formularies evaluate whether stocking edetate disodium is necessary, given the risk for hypocalcemia and the availability of less toxic alternatives.

Abstract
To examine the role of incentive sensitization in the potentiation of salt appetite by prior depletions, the authors assessed the motivation to obtain salt ("wanting") and the palatability of salt ("liking") independently in salt-sensitized rats. Breakpoint on a progressive ratio reinforcement schedule was used to measure salt wanting and taste reactivity was used to measure salt liking in rats with and without a history of Na+ depletion. Salt-sensitized rats displayed higher breakpoints relative to controls. However, a history of Na+ depletion was not associated with a greater positive shift in taste reactivity measures. The data suggest that these components of reward are separable in this model and support the general proposition that sensitization may alter wanting but not liking.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of sodium ramping (profiling) in reducing hypotensive episodes and symptoms during haemodialysis. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Regional hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS Thirteen patients who experienced frequent episodes of hypotension and/or symptoms such as cramps, dizziness, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, and headache during haemodialysis in the preceding 4 weeks. INTERVENTIONS Each patient was switched from standard haemodialysis with a constant dialysate sodium concentration of 135 to 140 mmol/L to a ramped sodium haemodialysis for a period of 4 weeks. During this time the dialysate sodium concentration was ramped linearly downwards from 150 mmol/L at the beginning of dialysis to 140 mmol/L at the end of dialysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Intradialytic hypotensive episodes, intradialytic symptoms, nursing interventions, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and interdialytic weight gain. RESULTS A total of 248 haemodialysis sessions undertaken by 13 patients were analysed. Switching from constant sodium haemodialysis to ramped sodium haemodialysis resulted in a significant reduction in the number of intradialytic hypotensive episodes from 5.8 (standard deviation, 6.4) to 2.2 (3.3) [P<0.05], the total number of intradialytic symptoms from 7.1 (3.4) to 0.9 (1.3) [P<0.01], and nursing interventions from 11.3 (6.3) to 1.7 (3.9) [P<0.01]. Post-dialysis systolic and diastolic blood pressures were higher during ramped sodium haemodialysis compared with constant sodium haemodialysis (systolic blood pressure, 139 [standard deviation, 23] vs 133 [22] mm Hg, P<0.001; diastolic blood pressure, 77 [11] vs 74 [13] mm Hg, P<0.01), and there was a trend towards a smaller drop in blood pressure after dialysis. The interdialytic weight gain with sodium ramping haemodialysis was greater compared with constant sodium haemodialysis (3.1 [standard deviation, 1.0] vs 2.7 [1.1] kg, P<0.001). CONCLUSION Sodium ramping during haemodialysis effectively reduces hypotensive episodes and intradialytic symptoms. Post-dialysis blood pressure is better maintained. A side-effect of sodium ramping is a greater interdialytic weight gain.
