Why this is required is because, to put it simply, dialysis patients are exposed to more water and hence more contaminants which build up in their systems causing toxicity that can lead to even death. Healthy individuals have a weekly water intake of around 14 litres of water (ie, 2 L/day). However, a typical hemodialysis prescription, ie. thrice weekly for four hours per session exposes the patient to more than 500 litres of water per week. Because of this substantially higher exposure to contaminants in water like lead, additional treatment of water used for the preparation of dialysis water is required. Municipal water also carries higher loads of pathogens...
