This is actually more of a medical question but hoped with everyone's vast experience someone has run across this and a possible solution.
We are currently dialyzing a patient at one of our hospital programs that is either in liver failure of has some kind of severe liver ailment. Whatever the cause, something is dialyzing out that is discoloring the dialysate and setting of the blood leak detector (tests negative for blood). I know there are medications that cause this but supposedly this patient isn't on any of the known culprits.
Has anyone ran in to something like this and was a solution found?
