1. What Hospasol 145 mmol/l is and what it is used for
Hospasol 145 mmol/l is used in hospitals or special centers during dialysis sessions to correct the chemical imbalance of the blood caused by kidney failure.
It replaces the bicarbonate that the body loses during:
- Acetate-Free Biofiltration (AFB) or
- Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration Free of Acetate (AFCVVHF).
It also helps to restore the body's bicarbonate levels, which are lost when the kidneys do not function properly (kidney failure).
2. What you need to know before you use Hospasol 145 mmol/l
Do not use Hospasol 145 mmol/l
If you are being treated with a dialysis method that uses a supplementary buffer.
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting treatment with Hospasol 145 mmol/l. It is essential to monitor the concentration of salts (electrolytes) in the blood and the body's acid-base balance. Therefore, the blood composition should be checked regularly.
Pay special attention to the following:
The pH value of the blood. In case of high pH (alkalosis), Hospasol 145 mmol/l should not be used.
The sodium level in the blood, if you have heart and/or kidney failure. An overdose of sodium can lead to fluid retention in the body (hypervolemia) and particularly in the lungs (pulmonary edema).
The blood vessels, as inflammation associated with thrombus formation (thrombophlebitis) can occur if the product is administered through a small peripheral vein.
The level of proteins, amino acids, and water-soluble vitamins in the blood, as significant losses can occur during dialysis.

Hospasol® 145 mmol/l solution for infusion
It is essential to use a buffer-free dialysis solution (which does not contain acetate or bicarbonate). A dialysis solution with an appropriate composition for Acetate-Free Biofiltration should be selected.
It is essential to use a buffer-free substitution fluid (which does not contain acetate or bicarbonate). A substitution fluid with an appropriate composition for Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration Free of Acetate should be selected.
Hospasol 145 mmol/l should be administered alone, without adding any other medicine, in particular, solutions containing calcium or magnesium, as they may cause precipitation of calcium or magnesium carbonate.

The flow rates normally used for Acetate-Free Biofiltration are:
- Adults, adolescents, and elderly: 2000 to 2500 ml/hour
- Children: 40 to 60 ml/kg/hour
The flow rates used in Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration Free of Acetate are:
