Abstract
- 96 -
Regarding Chemical analysis showed that the dialysis water quality
did not comply with the AAMI guideline values for few substances,
namely, aluminum, zinc, calcium, and selenium. Aluminum is expected
because the current practice in clarifying municipal water in Iraq is by
using aluminum sulfate as a coagulant. This frequently makes the dialysis
centers raw water contaminated with high concentration of aluminum
(more than 0.2mg/L).

Summary and Conclusion
As technology and the clinical science on renal replacement therapy
improves with an increasing patient population, hemodialysis therapies will
continue to be an evolving, yet increasing, health treatment in Egypt.
Water used in dialysis requires additional treatment to minimize
patient exposure to potential contaminants that may be present in drinking
water, which change according to the source.
The aim of the study was to assess implementation of quality
standers in water treatment units in hemodialysis units.
To assess water treatment quality, we developed a questionnaire on
(30) water treatment units of hemodialysis units in Sharkia governorate,
Egypt.
The present study indicated that in general some points are clearly
achieved in the majority of the units including Efficiency of water samples
collection, results of water sampling of 5 random units, chemical
disinfection of water tanks , follow up of RO and UV reading, cartilage
changing, and some points regarding the infrastructure and schematic
structure of the HD water as good ventilation, away from sun and The
source of fed water to the unit from public network and had water
purification devices and components except that there were 33.3% of the
studied units did not have Reversed osmotic pressure device (RO) 2
membrane, 20% of the studied units did not have Reversed osmotic
pressure device (RO) 3 membrane and 6.7% of the studied units did not
have an automatic nitrate filter.
