Is ionic
dialysance useful for early detection of vascular access dysfunction?
Dialysis variables were usually collected and then extracted from Dialog7[R] software: effective time of session, ultrafiltration rate, convective volume, real blood volume depurated, Kt measured by ionic
dialysance, clotting events and quantity of blood residues, and increased time to hemostasis.
Q: What is known about ionic
dialysance, a new method for measuring dialysis dose?
Dialysis dose (Kt/V) and clearance variation sensitivity using measurement of ultraviolet-absorbance (on-line), blood urea, dialysate urea and ionic
dialysance. Nephrol.
OCM uses ionic
dialysance to measure Kt/V Ionic
dialysance is a measure of the conductivity of the dialysate waste via a conductivity probe and compares this to the conductivity of the fresh inflow of dialysate during the HD session.

dialysance," Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, vol.
Kt data, measured by the monitor, were collected by ionic
dialysance in all sessions of the study period.

* Describe how ionic
dialysance measurements may be used to proactively adjust the treatment so that the prescribed dialysis doses can be accurately and consistently delivered.
Currently almost all dialysis monitors are equipped with ionic
dialysance sensors, allowing to indirectly and at real-time to get information about urea clearance in all dialysis sessions without obtaining blood samples.
