The kidney is dysfunctional in the patient; nitrogenous wastes will not be excreted out from his body. As a result, salts and urea will get accumulated in the blood. The dialysis fluid is meant for filtering the blood, so it contains no nitrogenous wastes. As compared to blood, urea and salts should be at a lower concentration in the dialysis fluid.
