During dialysis, the conductivity of dialysis solution is continuously monitored to ensure that the water and dialysate concentrate are being mixed in the proper proportions.

Nos?s machine consisted of a coil ( to transport the blood ) placed in a household ( electric ) washing machine filled with dialysate.

Researchers are still trying to figure out if the WAK can be energy efficient, affordable, and if it can reuse small amounts of dialysate.
14.
Wastes and excess water move from the blood, across the peritoneal membrane, and into a special dialysis solution, called dialysate, in the abdominal cavity.
15.
The NxStage System One can be used with bags of ultrapure dialysate-from 15 to 60 liters per treatment ( see photo showing treatment in process ).
16.
Generally, the supplies including the dialysate are delivered as they are scheduled to be used, either bimonthly or monthly but the amount of supplies can become a concern.
17.
The counter-current flow of the blood and dialysate maximizes the concentration gradient of solutes between the blood and dialysate, which helps to remove more urea and creatinine from the blood.

The NxStage System One cycler uses far less dialysate per treatment with a maximum dialysate flow rate of 200 ml / minute but generally runs at rates less than 150 ml / minute.
