Background and Aim: Hemodialysis is a treatment for patients with chronic kidney and kidney failure in the final stage that used to correct water imbalances, electrolytes, and blood chemicals. The presence of any primary and secondary contamination in the water used to hemodialysis patients are hazardous due to their direct contact with patients' blood. Therefore, this study conducted to investigate the concentration of heavy metals in the incoming water to the dialysis machines of Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Qorveh in 1397-98.
Materials and Methods: This the descriptive-analytical a study performed as a cross-sectional study on 24 water samples entering the reverse osmosis system and 24 samples of water entering the dialysis machines of Shahid Beheshti hospital of Qorveh. The concentrations of Lead, Cadmium, Zinc, Chromium, and Copper in each sample measured using ICP-OES-730 based on the latest methods in the book of standard methods of water and wastewater treatment. Finally, the mean concentration of the Samples compared based on AAMI and EPH standards and analyzed by spss22 software.
Results: The mean concentrations of Lead, Cadmium, Zinc, Chromium, and Copper were 1.26, 0.67, 0.04, 0.0006, 0.125 ppb, respectively, and the mean pH and EC were 7 and 49.83 µs/cm, which was lower than AAMI and EPH standards.
Conclusions: according to the results, the mean concentration of heavy metals in the dialysis machines of Shahid Beheshti Hospital of Qorveh is lower than standard, and patients are in excellent condition in terms of the side effects.
