Proportioning of Dialysis Solution

by

Proportioning of the Dialysis Solution Proportioning means the defined enrichment of the dialysis solution with electrolytes. The electrolytes are now available as an acid concentrate in liquid form in containers, canisters, and the bicarbonate – as Bicart or Bibag. The acid concentration usually contains five electrolytes: sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and … Read more

Conductivity

Introduction Conductivity (CD) is a measurement of the ability of the total ionic content of dialysate to conduct electricity. It depends on the concentration of the ions, the additivity of the ionic contributions (anions and cations added together) and the type of ions present. CD measurement is an important safety feature. It is measured in … Read more
