Abstract
Respiratory alkalosis during hemodialysis session is a rare complication. We managed two patients with severe respiratory alkalosis, a woman who developed this 75 min after the beginning of the session and a man who developed it about 1 h before the end of the session. In both, the cause was a hypotensive episode, and both hypotension and alkalosis were successfully treated.
