“…Thus, the evaluation of the quality of the hemodialysis water showed that these hospitals were not significantly contaminated, and that the quality of the water respected the limits of the AAMI norms, only suggesting a review of the reverse osmosis system. As occurred in this study, periodic analyses must be carried out in all hemodialysis centers to avoid contamination [45].…”

Hemodialysis is considered a treatment of choice for patients with renal failure worldwide, allowing the replacement of some kidney functions by diffusion and ultrafiltration processes. Over 4 million people require some form of renal replacement therapy, with hemodialysis being the most common. During the procedure, contaminants in the water and the resulting dialysate may pass into the patient's blood and lead to toxicity. Thus, the quality of the associated dialysis solutions is a critical issue. Accordingly, the discussion of the importance of a dialysis water delivery system controlled by current standards and recommendations, with efficient monitoring methods, disinfection systems, and chemical and microbiological analysis, is crucial for improving the health outcomes of these patients. The importance of treatment, monitoring, and regulation is emphasized by presenting several case studies concerning the contamination of hemodialysis water and the adverse effects on the respective patients.

“…To decrease patient exposure to potential contaminants in drinking water, further purification treatment of dialysis water is required (Taleshi et al., 2015). A series of purification methods, including deionization, carbon filtering, and reverse osmosis (RO) are commonly employed to remove contaminants from dialysis water.…”

Water quality for dialysis fluid is an important consideration for dialysis patients. As a result, strict monitoring of water quality is required to avoid complications and ensure the safety and health of patients. The current study aimed to determine the water quality used in hemodialysis treatment centers. Twenty water samples were collected and analyzed from three hospitals in Baghdad's medical city over four seasons. Counts of bacteria and chemical contaminants were determined in raw and dialysis water from each of four dialysis centers. After collecting samples, bacteriological and chemical analyses were performed in the laboratory. Results show that the quality of dialysis water fluctuates, making it unacceptable when compared to international standards. Bacterial counts were above the maximum value of 100 CFU/ml in 50% of the samples tested. Chemical analysis showed that the dialysis water quality suffers from elevated free chlorine concentrations in some dialysis centers. Also, there were no significant differences between the measured parameters in the dialysis water at four treatment centers during the study period at p < 0.05. Hemodialysis centers require constant monitoring, maintenance, and the development of water treatment systems to ensure optimum water quality. Additional disinfection is essential in order to prevent bacterial growth and biofilm formation.

“…As a result, many of the approved amounts of chemical compounds in drinking water are potentially toxic to patients with dialysis [3]. Consequently, in the treatment plants with dialysis, proper facilities for water treatment must be prepared and the quality of dialysis water must be controlled [4].…”

The chemical quality of the water used for dialysis fluid is a crucial factor for patients receiving dialysis. Therefore, strict monitoring of the quality of water is necessary in order to prevent complications and to guarantee the safety and health of patients. The current study aimed to determine the chemical water quality used in hemodialysis treatment plants and compare it to standards of the Association for advancement of medical instrumentation (AAMI) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in four hospitals in Baghdad. This cross-sectional study is performed in four seasons in 2019. This research was conducted on samples of dialysis water. Samples were tested by the spectrometry system (AA-7000, Shimadzu, Japan) and colorimeters DR890 for free chlorine. Microsoft 2010 was used for statistical analyses. Based on the results of the research, all concentrations of chemical compounds were within accepted international standards except free chlorine. Also, there were no significant differences between the measured parameters in the dialysis water at four treatment plants during the study period at (P < 0.05). The assessment of water quality hemodialysis showed that these hemodialysis treatment plants were not significantly contaminated and that the quality of the water met the AAMI and ISO standards.
