<p>A system/method is provided for treatment of end stage renal disease ("ESRD") using transdermal dialysis ("TDD"), such as to treat both acute and chronic ESRD. Generally, a patient's epidermal surface may be used as a dialysis membrane in the treatment of ESRD. A patient suffering from ESRD using TDD may be treated, where the patient's epidermal membrane ("EM") surface serves as the dialysis membrane. In such a system or method, the patient's EM may be contacted with a dialysate solution to thereby allow wastes and toxins to pass from beneath the patient's EM, through the patient's EM and into the dialysate solution. In a particular embodiment, the patient's EM is exposed to a prescribed electric field, to thereby increase the permeability of the patient's EM.</p> |
