Introduction

 

Water purity for dialysis is of critical importance for patient health and outcome, and in this regard, there are three major points to consider:

 

• Hemodialysis (HD) patients are exposed to more than 400 Liters of water per week. Contrast this with a person with a normal kidney drinking less than 15 Liters of water per week.

• The stomach acid and intestinal barrier protect from the ills of contaminated water more effectively than the barrier imposed by the dialyzer membrane.

• The functioning kidney can further protect the normal individual from the contaminants of water by eliminating these, this protection being absent for the HD patient.

 

Water consumption for each bed is calculated at approximately 50 liters per hour.

Concerns

The contaminants can be divided into three major categories:

1. Particulate Matter
   These cause turbidity and include clay, iron, sand, chalk, silica, etc.

2. Chemicals
   These include dissolved inorganic ions and salts, such as Na, Cl, Al, Ca, Mg, and Fl. Organic matter includes industrial and agricultural toxins such as fertilizers, pesticides, and oils.

3. Microorganisms and Endotoxins
   These include predominantly bacteria and occasionally fungi, viruses, protozoa, spores, and endotoxins produced by the organisms.

 

Micro Aid Corporation is to reduce all contaminants from the raw water to the level that meets standards of
The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI).

Endotoxin?

 

Viable bacteria and endotoxins in water sometimes cause problems for human health. Endotoxins are major components of the outer cell wall of gram-negative bacteria. in medical procedures, especially hemodialysis (HD) and related therapies HDF and HF, endotoxins in the water for hemodialysis can permeate through the hemodialysis membrane and cause microinflammation or various related illnesses. To decrease such a biological risk, RO and UF membranes are generally used. Also, hot water disinfection.
