    preparing for the next step‚ place the dialysis tubing in cup 1 and let it soak for about 5 minutes. Use the “DW” pipet to add 4 mL of distilled water to the graduated cylinder. Add 2 mL of starch solution and 2 mL of 20% glucose solution to cup 2 and mix thoroughly with the glass rod. Next‚ cut 2 rubber bands in one place and set aside. By this time‚ the dialysis tubing should be ready to be removed from cup 1. Set cup 1 aside for future use. “Fold the dialysis tubing about 1 ½ cm from the end. Tie

    renal disease is when there is a permanent loss of total renal function. End-stage renal disease‚ is also known as chronic kidney disease (CKD)‚ with five stages. The fifth stage is the most severe stage‚ this is when the patient needs to begin dialysis‚ or be transplanted to survive. The Center for Disease Prevention and Control ranks End stage renal disease the ninth leading cause of death in the United States ("Center For Disease Control And Prevention"‚ 2010).

    confusion‚ delirium and comma‚ may develop. Because the kidneys of infants are less able to conserve water than are those of adults‚ infant are more likely to become dehydrated. Elderly people are also especially susceptible to developing water imbalances because the sensitivity of their thirst mechanisms decreases with age and physical disabilities may make if difficult for them to obtain adequate fluids. The treatment for dehydration is to replace the lost of water and electrolytes. If only water

    2009). The number of patients suffering from CRF in United Kingdom (UK) is rising rapidly. Ferenbach and Wood (2005‚ p.16) state that in UK‚ about 6000 people are commencing dialysis treatment per year. Fluid overload is a frequently observed finding in renal failure patients. About one third of the patients receiving dialysis for Chronic Renal Failure have fluid overload despite advice to restrict their oral fluid intake (Roderick‚ et al 2004). This assignment will examine the clinical effectiveness

    6 M‚ 0.8 M‚ and 1.0 M. Then we obtained six pieces of dialysis tubing from the beaker of water and tied a knot in one end of the tubing. Afteer‚ we opened one piece of dialysis and poured 25 ml of distilled water into the tubing and then tied of the other end securely leaving room for expansion. Then blotted the tube dry and placed it in the cup labeled “water”. Then we repeated the same process witht eh remaining five pieces of dialysis tubing‚ adding a different sucrose solution to each bag:

    experiment‚ the weight of the beaker/dialysis tubing changed and the only logical explanation was that diffusion of water had occurred. Osmosis is the diffusion of water. Depending on which was heavier (the beaker or the dialysis tubing) after the experiment was performed‚ the direction of water diffusion was apparent. If the beaker was heavier‚ then that implies that the water diffused from the dialysis tubing to the beaker. In contrast to this process‚ if the dialysis tubing were heavier after the experiment
