Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the influence of water tank on endotoxin(ET)content in hemodialysis fluid.Methods:Specimens of hemodialysis fluid were collected from 36 hemodialysis centers in Shanghai from Nov 2010 to Oct 2012,and the ET content in hemodialysis fluid were detected by chromogenic substrate method.Results:A total of 2694 samples have been obtained from 36 hemodialysis centers during the 2 years’period.The contents of ET below 0.1 EU/mL were detected in 2348 (87.16%)samples,between 0.1 EU/mL and 0.5 EU/mL in 260(9.65%)samples,and above 0.5 EU/mL in 86(3.19%) samples.Water tanks were used in 19 of the 36 hemodialysis centers.ET contents of hemodialysis fluid in the hemodialysis cen-ters which used water tanks were higher than those didn’t use water tanks,and the difference showed statistical significance (P <0.05).Conclusion:The usage of water tank could significantly increase the ET content in hemodialysis fluid.Monitoring of water storage equipment should be strengthened.
