Dialysis
Technician
Duties and Responsibilities:
Dialysis Technicians operate machines that remove
waste and excess fluids 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 dialysis
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 signs 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 infectious diseases such as hepatitis
and AIDS.
