What is the Gibbs-Donnan effect in dialysis?
The differences in pH and electrolyte concentrations are characteristics of the Gibbs-Donnan effect whereby the high concentration of anionic proteins in plasma draws sodium and potassium from the interstitium, and chloride follows the cations in an attempt to preserve electroneutrality.
