The increased risk of systemic inflammation and infection in hemodialysis patients is contributed by long-term immunocompromised status as well as backfiltration during hemodialysis with commonly used high-flux dialyzers. Excessive bacteria or endotoxins in dialysis fluid may cause fever, inflammatory response, and infection, which have impacts on dialysis safety and patient outcomes. This article briefly introduces endotoxin, emphasizes the importance of endotoxin monitoring in dialysis fluid, gives a description of current trends in bacterial endotoxin tests, and provides our experience and results of endotoxin monitoring in recent years.
