1. What Priosol with 4 mmol/l of Potassium is and what it is used for
Priosol with 4 mmol/l of Potassium is a solution for hemofiltration. It is used in patients with acute renal failure, when the kidneys are not able to remove waste products from the blood. Continuous hemofiltration is a procedure used to remove waste products from the body, which are normally excreted in the urine through the kidneys. The solution corrects the balance of fluids and ensures that after treatment, the loss of salts (electrolytes) is restored.

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.
2. What you need to know before you are given Priosol with 4 mmol/l of Potassium
Priosol with 4 mmol/l of Potassium should not be administered if:
- you have an abnormally high level of potassium in your blood (hyperkalemia)
- your blood contains abnormally low levels of acidic substances (metabolic alkalosis)
The hemofiltration procedure should not be used if you have
- renal failure along with a very high metabolic turnover (hypercatabolic state), in this situation the accumulation of waste products in your body can no longer be corrected by hemofiltration
- poor blood flow at the site of insertion of the catheter in the vein
- a high risk of bleeding due to receiving medications to prevent blood clotting (systemic anticoagulation)
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before you are given Priosol with 4 mmol/l of Potassium.
Before and during hemofiltration, your blood pressure and fluid balance, salts (electrolytes), acid-base balance, and kidney function will be monitored. Your blood sugar and phosphate levels will be regularly checked.
In addition, your serum potassium concentrations will be monitored before and during hemofiltration.
Using Priosol with 4 mmol/l of Potassium with other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.
The level of other medicines in your blood may be reduced during hemofiltration, which your doctor will take into account.
Interactions with other medicines can be avoided with the use of the correct dose of the hemofiltration solution and careful monitoring.
The following interactions will be considered:
- Infusions administered in intensive care may change the composition of the blood and its water status.
- The toxic effects of certain medicines used to treat heart failure (medicines containing digitalis) may not become apparent if your potassium or magnesium levels are too high, or your calcium levels are too low. When these levels are corrected by hemofiltration, these toxic effects may appear and cause, for example, heart rhythm abnormalities. If you have low potassium or high calcium levels in your blood, digitalis may produce toxic effects at doses lower than those normally used for treatment.
- Vitamin D and medicines containing calcium may increase the risk of elevated calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia).
- The use of additional sodium hydrogen carbonate may increase the risk of low acid levels in the blood (metabolic alkalosis).
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before you are given this medicine.
There are currently no sufficient data on the use of hemofiltration solutions during pregnancy. However, since all components of this medicine are natural substances that only replace the same substances that disappear from the body during hemofiltration, no risks are expected for the child during pregnancy and breastfeeding, nor any effects on fertility.
Driving and using machines
This medicine is usually administered to patients who are immobilized in a hospital or dialysis unit, which excludes driving and using machines.
3. How to use Priosol with 4 mmol/l of Potassium
This medicine will only be administered to you under the direction of a doctor with experience in hemofiltration techniques.
Your doctor will decide the appropriate dose for you, taking into account your clinical condition, body weight, and metabolic state. Unless otherwise indicated, in patients of any age, a filtration rate of 20-25 ml/kg of body weight per hour is recommended for the elimination of substances that are normally excreted in the urine.
The hemofiltration solution will be administered to you via the tube system of the hemofiltration equipment (extracorporeal circulation) using a perfusion pump.
Treatment of acute renal failure is carried out for a limited period and ends when kidney function is fully restored.
If you are given more Priosol with 4 mmol/l of Potassium than recommended
No life-threatening situations have been described after administration of the prescribed dose of this medicine. Administration can be stopped immediately if necessary.
Unbalanced administration may lead to an excess or deficit of fluid in the body (hyperhydration or dehydration). This situation becomes apparent through changes in blood pressure or pulse.
If too much of the hemofiltration solution is administered, an overdose of hydrogen carbonate may occur. This may result in abnormally low acid levels in the blood (metabolic alkalosis), a lower amount of dissolved calcium in the blood (decrease in ionized calcium), or muscle cramps (tetany).
An overdose can cause heart failure and/or pulmonary congestion and may disrupt the acid-base and electrolyte balance.
Your doctor will decide on the appropriate treatment.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
No cases of side effects associated with this medicine have been described to date. However, the following side effects may occur. The frequency of these side effects cannot be estimated from the available data:
Excess or deficit of fluid in the body (hyperhydration or dehydration), abnormal levels of salts (electrolytes) - for example, too much potassium in the blood (hyperkalemia) - low phosphate levels in the blood (hypophosphatemia), high sugar levels in the blood (hyperglycemia), abnormally low acid levels in the blood (metabolic alkalosis), high or low blood pressure (hypertension or hypotension), nausea, vomiting, and muscle cramps.

Administration of the ready-to-use hemofiltration solution
The hemofiltration solution should be warmed to approximately body temperature using an integrated or external warmer. The solution should not be perfused under any circumstances if it is below ambient temperature.
During the application of this medicine, precipitation of calcium carbonate in the tubes has been observed in rare cases, particularly near the pump unit and the heating unit. Therefore, during hemofiltration, the tubes should be visually inspected every 30 minutes to ensure that the solution in the tube system is clear and free from precipitates. Precipitation may also occur with a considerable delay after starting treatment. If precipitates are observed, the tubes should be replaced immediately and the patient should be closely monitored.
For single use only. Any remaining fraction of the solution and any damaged packaging should be discarded.
