Summary

The purpose of this study is to look at how the dose of dialysis is affected by the rate at which dialysate flows through the dialyzer. The dose of dialysis (Kt/V) will be determined by measuring blood levels of urea at the beginning and end of dialysis at two different dialysate flow rates.

Conditions

• Chronic Kidney Disease
• Chronic Renal Disease

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Dialysis Flow Rate Start 600mL/min	ABAB sequence where A represents three consecutive dialysis treatments with a dialysate flow rate of 600 mL/min and B represents three consecutive treatments with a dialysate flow rate of 800 mL/min.
OTHER	Dialysis Flow Rate Start 800mL/min	BABA sequence where B represents three consecutive treatments with a dialysate flow rate of 800 mL/min and A represents three consecutive dialysis treatments with a dialysate flow rate of 600 mL/min.
