A blood purification apparatus including a line section through which working dialysate to be introduced into a blood purifier or drain liquid discharged from the blood purifier is caused to flow; a delivery unit that delivers liquid in the line section; an introduction port connected to a supply route through which undiluted dialysate or the working dialysate is supplied, the introduction port allowing the undiluted dialysate or the working dialysate in the supply route to be introduced into the apparatus; an introduction route connected to the introduction port and through which the undiluted dialysate or the working dialysate introduced from the introduction port flows into the line section; a valve unit provided to the introduction route and being capable of opening or closing the introduction route by being opened or closed; and a control unit that controls an operation of opening or closing the valve unit. The control unit is capable of executing a flushing step in which when a cleaning solution or a disinfecting solution is caused to flow through the supply route, the valve unit is opened to allow the cleaning solution or the disinfecting solution flowing in the supply route to flow into the introduction route and through the line section to be discharged to an outside of the apparatus.
