Dialysis
Technician
Duties & 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
kidney dialysis machines. They are responsible for their operation cleaning and
sterilization. They must also fully understand their patient’s 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 treatment. Because dialysis technicians work with blood they must
exercise strict safety precautions against infectious diseases such as
hepatitis and aids.
