Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Environmental Health
  • Biomedical Engineering

Context:

  • Growing global water pollution necessitates stringent quality control.
  • Hemodialysis patients require substantial volumes of high-purity water.
  • Water contamination can occur at various stages, from collection to point-of-use.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the critical importance of water quality in hemodialysis.
  • To review common water contaminants relevant to dialysis.
  • To discuss various water purification technologies and system designs used in dialysis.

Summary:

  • Dialysis requires up to 150 liters of purified water per session, directly contacting patient blood.
  • Potential contaminants include heavy metals (aluminum, copper), chemicals (chloramine, pesticides, herbicides), and bacteria.
