In renal failure,acute or chronic,one most commonly see patients who have a tendency to develop hypervolemia(high volume),hyperkalemia(high levels of K+),hyperphosphatemia(high levels of phosphate),hypocalcemia,and bicarbonate deficiency(metabolic acidosis).Sodium is generally retained,but may appear normal,or hyponatremic,because of dilution from fluid retention.

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...
