A member asked:
Why does dialysis cause blood to gel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Huh?: For very obvious reasons, blood is designed to begin clotting once it leaves the blood vessel as it does in dialysis. This is very well understood and patients undergoing dialysis are given medications to prevent clotting.
