Today, ultrapure dialysis fluid is subject to the demands of evidence-based medicine or at least evidence-based cost-effectiveness. The sequence from growing awareness to widespread conviction and practical implementation of ultrapure dialysis fluid is similar to the process for biocompatible dialysis membranes some 10–15 years ago. So, where do we stand with regard to ultrapure dialysis fluid?
