Dialysis Technicians

Duties and Responsibilities:

Dialysis Technicians operate machines that remove waste and excess fluid from the blood of patients whose kidneys can no longer carry out those functions. Dialysis technicians are also referred to as

 renal dialysis technicians, hemodialysis technicians, or nephrology technicians. They work

 under the supervision of physicians, primarily in hospitals and clinics.

Dialysis technicians must fully understand the operation of the kidney machines. They are responsible

 for their operation, cleaning, and sterilization. They must also fully understand their patients

 needs. Dialysis technicians carefully monitor and record weight and vital sings before, during, and 

after the blood cleansing procedures. Additionally, they instruct patients about in-home 

treatments.  Because dialysis technicians work with blood, they must exercise strict safety 

precautions against inflection diseases such as hepatitis and AIDS.
