Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney patients struggle with waste elimination and mineral balance in their blood, and hemodialysis (HD) serves as a critical treatment to address these issues.
- Reverse osmosis (RO) water, with low total dissolved solids, is used for creating dialysis fluid, and the purity of this water is assessed using advanced techniques like laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS).
- Comparative studies show that the ultrapure RO water from on-line hemodiafiltration (HDF) machines offers better electrolyte balance for patients, enhancing their quality of life, although the filtration capacity of dialyzers diminishes with repeated use.
