In some dialysis machines, the urea clearance during dialysis is estimated by testing the ability of the dialyzer to remove a small salt load that is added to the dialysate during dialysis.
22.
Fluid removal ( ultrafiltration ) is achieved by altering the hydrostatic pressure of the dialysate compartment, causing free water and some dissolved solutes to move across the membrane along a created pressure gradient.
23.
Blood is drawn from the patient's vein and pumped through the dialyzer, where impurities are filtered into a special fluid called dialysate, which mixes with water to flush the impurities away.
24.
The dialysate was circulated by turning on the washing machine ( which mixed the dialysate and resulted in some convection ) and Nos?s experiments show that this indeed improved the clearance of toxins.

26.
When such long nocturnal sessions are given 6x / week, in almost all patients phosphate binders can be stopped, and in a substantial number, phosphate needs to be added to the dialysate to prevent phosphate depletion.
27.
At high flow-rates, the amount of drug diffusing from the sampling site into the dialysate per unit time is smaller ( low extraction efficiency ) than at lower flow-rates ( high extraction efficiency ).
28.
The organism is rarely reported as a human pathogen, though it has been isolated from a variety of clinical specimens, including wounds, sputum, urine, stool, blood, synovial fluid, conjunctiva and peritoneal dialysate.
29.
The dialyzer clearance " K " is usually estimated, based on the urea transfer ability of the dialyzer ( a function of its size and membrane permeability ), the blood flow rate, and the dialysate flow rate.
30.
IGFBP-3 has been identified in human lymph, nipple aspirate, milk, amniotic fluid, follicular fluid, seminal plasma, urine, peritoneal dialysate, synovial fluid, tear fluid, and cerebrospinal fluid, in addition to serum.
