Is it safe for kidney dialysis patients to drink water containing chloramine?
Yes. Because the digestive process metabolizes chloramine before it reaches the bloodstream, everyone can drink chloraminated water. Kidney dialysis patients can drink, cook, and bathe in chloraminated water. It’s only when water interacts directly with the bloodstream, as in dialysis or in a fish’s gill structure, that chloramine must be removed.
