Effluent Pressure question

[caregivertech1]

Recently during the last 1/2 hour of our 3 1/2 hr. treatment the effluent pressure creeps up from around 135 to 150. Our VP remains steady around 135 as well as AP around 110 throughout treatment. Thoughts?? Thanks.

135 to 150 isn't really much to worry about.  When you quit doing UF and start doing only dialysate it may have some affect on pressure.  We never worry about the effluent pressure unless it is really high because it is blocked or really low because there is a leak.
