Question

Dialysis fluid contains all the constituents as in plasma except
(1) Electrolytes
(2) Carbohydrate
(3) Nitrogenous wastes
(4) All of above
​

Answer 1

Answer: 3. Nitrogenous waste

Explanation:

In cases when kidney does not function properly the dialysis process is performed. The typical dialysis fluid consists of salts of sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, calcium and potassium so as to form an electrolyte. It also contain carbohydrate in the form of glucose. All the contents are mixed in water.

The dialysis is a process to purify blood. Thus nitrogenous waste in blood get purified by the process of dialysis.

Answer 2

Dialysis fluid contains all the constituents as in plasma except Nitrogenous wastes.  

Option 3

Explanation:

• Dialysis is the process of removing toxic waste from the body of a person whose kidneys no longer perform the function in a sound manner.

• Waste materials are removed through mechanical means.

• The solution used during dialysis is called dialysate.

• Dialysate works in “removing toxic substances” from the body and is made of purified water, salts and electrolytes.
