Correction

Due to two errors described below, several corrections to the text, figures and tables of the published paper are needed.

The first error occurred in the identification of the mode of ion selective electrode that was applied for the measurements of calcium ion concentration as the indirect mode instead of the direct mode. The selection of the mode is important only for the measurements in plasma because of the presence of charged protein.

The second error occurred in the formula for the correction of calcium ion concentration in plasma and resulted in the overestimation of the real value of this concentration. Actually, the appropriate formula for this correction yields only negligible change (less than 2%) in the measured values and therefore we have decided not to use any correction in the updated values. Therefore, the calcium ion concentrations in plasma and in dialysis fluid are now presented as measured by ion selective electrode in the direct mode.

In the “Patients and clinical data” subsection of the Methods section, the sixth sentence of the second paragraph should read: Concentrations of total (by calorimetric method with Arsenazo, Advia 1800, Siemens) and ionized (by ion selective electrode and potentiometry direct mode, RapidLab 348, Siemens) calcium were measured in serum before, at 1, 2 and 3 h, at the end and 45 min after each session, before the fourth dialysis session and in the outlet dialysate every 0.5 h.

In the “Calculations” subsection of the Methods section, the first sentence of the third paragraph should be removed.

Due to the errors described, the published Fig 1, Fig 2, Table 3, and Table 5 are incorrect. Please see the corrected versions here.
