The Optiflux 1.6 low flux dialyzer is recommended for use in patients who require a lower rate of solute removal, such as those with residual renal function or those who are at risk of dialysis disequilibrium syndrome. This dialyzer is suitable for patients who require a more gentle dialysis treatment, and its low flux design can help to minimize the risk of complications such as hypotension and cramping. The dialyzer should be used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, and the patient's treatment regimen should be closely monitored to ensure that their dialysis needs are being met. In patients who are at high risk of complications, second-line interventions such as adjusting the dialysate composition or using a different type of dialyzer may be necessary. As with any dialysis treatment, the patient's electrolyte levels, blood pressure, and overall condition should be closely monitored during and after treatment.
