Answer:

How a dialysis machine works - Higher tier only - The role of the ... Blood is removed from the patient and flows into the dialyzer where it is kept separated from dialysis fluid by a partially permeable membrane. The dialysis fluid contains the same concentration of glucose and salts as normal blood plasma so there is no net movement of glucose out of the blood by diffusion.

There is no net diffusion of glucose out of the circulation since the dialysis fluid has the same content of salts and glucose as normal blood plasma. Salts in excess diffuse into the dialysate.

Dialysis fluid:

  • The term "dialysate" refers to a mixture of pure water, electrolytes, and salts like sodium and bicarbonate. It is also referred to as "dialysis fluid" "dialysis solution" or "bath."
  • Toxins from the blood are drawn into the dialysate in order for it to function.
  • Diffusion is the mechanism that makes this happen.
  • With the exception of nitrogenous wastes, dialysis fluid contains all the components found in plasma.
  • The right concentrations of water, glucose, salts and other chemicals are present in the dialysis fluid for the body.
  • Water and mineral ions, among other microscopic particles, can flow through the dialyzing membrane.
  • Through the membrane and out of the circulation, the dialysate draws waste and extra fluid.
