To find out if your dialysis exchanges are removing enough wastes, you’ll have a blood test and collect used dialysis solution once a month. If you’re still urinating, you may need to collect urine. These tests help your doctor prescribe a dialysis schedule and dose to meet your health needs. If your dialysis schedule isn’t removing enough wastes or your body is absorbing too much dextrose, your doctor will make adjustments.
