The patient was under acute renal failure for which the patient underwent renal dialysis to externally filter the blood via osmosis. Dialysis involves the passage of arterial blood through a tube with a semi-permeable outer membrane. This membrane only allows ions/metabolites/electrolytes and water to pass through. Surrounding the tube is another larger tubing containing dialysate (assume pure water). Answer the following questions regarding osmosis and the function that dialysis serves in this case.

a.In which direction is the driving force for osmosis during dialysis and why?

b.How would the initial driving force for osmosis change (increase/decrease) if dialysis was performed less frequently? Why?

c.In this patient, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) was measured at 23 mg/dl upon admission. Calculate the diffusion rate (J) of BUN across the dialysis membrane, assuming the following:

Purea(membrane) = 1.5 x 10-6 cm/sec

[BUN]dialysate= 0 at t=0

Membrane thickness = 40 μm

Amembrane = 1.5 m2

d.Describe how BUN will change in the blood following dialysis. Justify your answer.
