Dialysate monitoring




pH
  • The recommended pH range is 6,8-7,6.  Not all machines have monitor, but dialysate pH should be monitored each session

Temperature
  • A heat  sensor monitors dialysate temperature near the dialyzer and provides a short feedback  loop for changes. Temperature should be  between 35-42ºC
  1.   Low temperatures can cause shivering
  2.   High temperatures  can cause protein denaturing or hemolysis
