Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the quantity of iron derived from SFP that is
transferred from the dialysate to patients during a single dialysis session. The effects of
various conditions which may affect the transfer of iron such as blood and dialysate flow
rate, changes in bicarbonate delivery, dialyzer membrane type and the effect of reuse will
also be investigated. The absorption and removal of iron from the blood will also be
investigated.
