This is a loaded question - very hard to answer as not knowing if the patient a hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis or has some kidney function or no kidney function. So, I found a link that may be of interest that you could find out any information you need to know.

Where do you spray starter fluid on a snowblower?
Starter fluid is sprayed into the air intake or carburetor of snow blower. This allows the vehicle to have highly flammable ready to burn when it is started.
Conditions such as heart failure and some types of kidney liver and adrenal diseases may impair excretion of water and even require that you limit your fluid intake how much is the limit?
Fluid intake in these conditions would depend upon the severity of the disease. I varies by the individual. Doctors would make their determinations by monitoring lab values and signs and symptoms of fluid overload.
How can you get rid of excess fluid in a congestive heart failure patient?
Either remove it manually by surgery or give this patient diuretics in addition to the prescription your doc may prescribe.
Can pure antifreeze leak from a cylinder head without oil traces in it and can antifreeze leak from an intake gasket?
I have a 98 Malibu and I know from experience that antifreeze can leak from the intake gasket. It cost me $400 to fix it. At first we thought it was tranny fluid because it was pink, not that! I have Dexcool in my car and that is what was leaking from the intake. Common problem for the 3800 II; GMs` later 3800s have ALUMINUM intakes; I guess they found the problem, yet they didn`t choose to fix the other cars.....bastards...
Your Honda accord 2000 brake light comes on then shuts off when running What is the problem?
Check brake fluid level in master cylinder when cold (fluid expands when heated) Make sure parking brake is fully released
When do you record fluid intake on a patient?
when the fluids are served to the patient
What are the normal results of kidney dialysis?
Puffiness in the patient related to edema, or fluid retention, may be relieved after dialysis treatment. The patient's overall sense of physical well-being may also be improved
What characteristics does a successful dialysis have?
a baseline for normalcy can be difficult to gauge. Puffiness in the patient related to edema, or fluid retention, may be relieved after dialysis treatment. The patient's overall sense of physical well being may also be improved.
How much fluid in a renal diet?
In general most dialysis patients are limited to about one and one-half quarts of fluid per day. However, the individual recommended fluid intake for all dialysis and renal patients varies greatly and depends on many factors related to the individual patient. For example, the patient's current kidney function, the patient's individual ability to urinate, his or her diet, and the type of dialysis treatment the patient receives, if any, all play a role in the determining the recommended amount. The consequences of too much fluid intake can be severe, potentially causing an increase in blood pressure and subsequent issues with the heart. If you have any questions about your individual recommendations, please consult with your nephrologist and dietician. There are a few things to be aware of when regulating fluids. The total fluid amount includes not only beverages, but also liquid in foods as well. Soups, excessively juicy fruits (like oranges and watermelon), and frozen treats which turn to liquid at room temperature, all count toward the total daily fluid intake. Avoiding highly salted foods can be beneficial since they tend to make you more thirsty and also cause the retention of fluids in the body.
What is the minimal fluid intake for a patient to assist in the prevention of urinary tract infections if not on a fluid restriction?
1.5 - 2 Litres
When do you start an intake and output chart?
In case of dehydration In fluid and electrolyte imbalance In kidney impairment patients In case of dialysis patients
What happens in peritoneal dialysis?
peritoneal dialysis work on the same principle except abdomen has a peritoneal cavity, lined by a thin epithelium called as peritoneum. peritoneal cavity is filled with dialysis fluid that enters the body through a catheter. excess water and waste pass through the peritoneum into the dialysis fluid. this process is repeated several times in a day.
What is the composition of the dialysis fluid?
urine
How does drinking more water usually help decrease fluid retention or edema when a patient has no fluid restrictions?
Many patients who have edema -- fluid retention -- often reduce their water and fluid intake. But this can compound the problem with edema. Fluid intake increases blood volume and stimulates the kidneys to remove fluid wastes. At the cellular level in tissues, increased fluid volume promotes better circulation, which prompts the cells to increase how they move wastes into the bloodstream for transport to the kidneys for processing.However, each patient must discuss this with their doctor. Some patients do have fluid restrictions depending on that patient's medical conditions. But generally speaking, most people can handle normal fluid intake when they have edema and often see better kidney function and less edema.
One way in which dialysis fluid is different to blood plasma?
The dialysis fluid is different to plasmas in that it does not have the uric acid and urea in it.. besides that- it has no excess salts either.
Why does the fluid in a dialysis machine have the same concentration of salt as the blood?
because if the concentrations are different ,important or much needed substances may pass out of the blood into the tube if the concentration of that substance is low in the patients blood, so conditions of the patient can become even worst.
Why is it important that the concentration of urea is kept very low in the dialysis fluid?
the concentration of urea should be kept low in the dialysis fluid because urea is harmful for our body if it is not removed.
