The water used in a dialysis treatment must be purified to keep contaminants such as arsenic, aluminum, chlorine, and countless others from coming in contact with the patient, which could injure or kill them in practically no time at all (depending on the actual contaminant and the amount of it). A dialysis patient also comes in contact with more water than the average person, and no orally, but directly with their blood. The purified water used in the treatment is used to make the dialysate used in the treatment. Water is treated to well below EPA standards to meet AAMI standards for dialysis.

Where do patients go in the community for treatment for kidney dialysis?

You need to be seen by a Nephrologist, (kidney doctor), to have the correct tests performed, to be sure you even need dialysis to begin with. If you need a referral, your family doctor can provide that for you. Once your tests have confirmed that your kidneys are functioning at less than 15%, your Nephrologist will set you up with dialysis at the clinic he or she is affiliated with. Most communities have at least one or two different companies with multiple dialysis clinics that you can visit beforehand if you already know that you will be on dialysis in the near future
