A clear, jargon-free definition, verified by the medical team at Clinique ESSAADA.
A sterile fluid made up of ultra-purified water, glucose and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chlorides). In the dialyser it flows on the opposite side of the membrane from the blood: waste products and excess water cross over through the difference in concentration, while the useful elements are preserved. Its composition is adjusted to each patient.
