Abstract
Bacterial proliferation in dialysis fluid during haemodialysis may be associated with rigors, hypotension, and bacteraemia. Investigations carried out in a period in which rigors were particularly common showed the source of bacteria to be parts of the gasket system of the Kiil dialyser, areas that are inaccessible to disinfectants.
