Dialysis therapy is dependent on diffusion and convection through a large amount of water, so during that patient gets exposed to temperature changes of water directly. Malfunction of the heating element in the dialysis machine can result in the production of excessively cool or hot dialysis solution. Use of cool dialysis solution (down to 35°C) […]

Hemodialysis is a method for removing uremic toxins and water directly from the blood into a dialysis fluid through an artificial semipermeable membrane called a dialyzer. The ability of the dialyzer to remove uremic toxins has steadily improved, but the likelihood has also increased that bioactive substances, such as bacterial endotoxin (ET) fragments, can be […]
The blood circuit begins at the vascular access to pump the blood from vascular access to the dialyzer and blood is returned from the dialyzer back to vascular access. The inflow (arterial) blood line connects the vascular access to the dialyzer, and the outflow (venous) blood line runs from the dialyzer back to the […]
