Figure 1 Experimental design. Each study consisted of a 120-minute equilibration period (-150 to -30 minutes), a 30-minute basal period, a 240-minute hemodialysis period (0 to 240 minutes), and a 120-minute post-dialysis period. The dashes indicate blood sampling time points.

Figure 2 Expired carbon dioxide (CO2) enrichments during the study. The data indicate steady-state conditions during each phase of the study with slopes not statistically significantly different than zero.

Figure 3 (13C)ketoisocaproate (KIC) enrichments during the study period. The data indicate steady-state conditions during each phase of the study with slopes not statistically significantly different than zero.

Figure 4 The increment in interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentration during each study period for each individual patient. The mean is depicted in bold. *Denotes significant difference from the baseline period for the mean (P < 0.05); α denotes P = 0.05 vs. hemodialysis for the mean.

Figure 5 The increment in fibrinogen fractional synthetic rates (FSR) during each study period for each individual patient. The mean is depicted in bold. *Denotes significant difference from the baseline period (P < 0.05) for the mean.
