Dialysis Technician
Duties
and Responsibilities:
Dialysis
technicians operate machines that remove waste and excess fluids from the blood

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
patient’s needs. Dialysis technicians carefully monitor and record weight and
vital signs before, during, and after the blood cleansing procedure.
Additionally, they instruct patients about in-home treatments. Because dialysis
technicians work with blood, they must exercise strict safety precautions
against infections diseases such as hepatitis and AIDS.
