Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The dialysate concentration of glucose is commonly between 100 and 200 mg/dL. Freshly prepared dialysate solution circulates continuously to the dialyzer in the extracorporeal circuit. After making a single pass through the dialyzer, the effluent dialysate goes to the drain.
Detailed explanation-2: -The usual bicarbonate concentration in dialysate is 35 mmol/l.
