Abstract

This is (a) to remove toxic waste products from the body, and (b) to achieve the ultrafiltration of excess salt and water. The arrangement therefore is that blood circulates from the patient through a semi-permeable membrane so that small molecules can pass through into the dialysate solution, whose electrolyte composition is close to that of normal plasma. Urea and low molecular weight toxic products (of less than 1200 daltons) diffuse from the blood into the dialysate, whilst glucose and bicarbonate or acetate move in the opposite direction.
