Question

Why is the dialysis solution constantly  replaced ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The concentrations of solutes (for example potassium, phosphorus, and urea) are undesirably high in the blood, but low or absent in the dialysis solution, and constant replacement of the dialysate ensures that the concentration of undesired solutes is kept low on this side of the membrane.

Answer 2

The constant replacement of the dialysate ensures that the concentration of undesired solutes is kept low on this side of the membrane.

Explanation:

• Kidneys that function properly helps in cleaning the body blood and eliminates extra fluid in the form of urine.
• Kidneys also provide healthy substances to our body which helps in its proper functioning.
• When kidneys no longer work, dialysis helps as a substitution as it performs some of its functions.
• Dialysis has a purpose of replacing impaired renal function.
• But unlike kidneys, dialysis instruments cannot clean itself on its own which is why the solution of dialysis needs to be replaced constantly.
