Abstract
A solution, in particular for hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis that permits attaining a desired glucose concentration without affecting the concentrations of other components in the solution. The solution consists of at least three individual solutions that are combined and administered after heat sterilization. The first solution contains calcium ions, electrolyte salts and optionally glucose in a concentration of 0-1000 mM and is acidified to a pH of less than 4.0 with a physiologically tolerable acid. The second solution contains glucose in a concentration different from that of the first solution and the remaining components of the first solution in the same concentration. The third solution contains a buffer in the physiological range. Also provided is a method of preparing a solution according to the invention, where the desired mixing ratio of the separate solutions is automatically established by a dialysis machine or peritoneal dialysis cycler.
