1. A dialysis system, comprising:
- a device configured so that a dialysis solution can pass therethrough, the device being adapted to remove one or more substances from the dialysis solution as the dialysis solution passes through the device;
a fluid line connected to the device, the fluid line being arranged so that solution exiting the device passes through the fluid line; and
a sodium control system in fluid communication with the fluid line, the sodium control system being adapted to alter a sodium concentration of solution passing through the fluid line.
