PERITONEAL EQUILIBRATION TEST AND DIALYSIS SYSTEM USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic peritoneal dialysis system determining the optimum dwell time of dialysis fluid.SOLUTION: An ultrafiltration ( "UF" ) evaluation method includes: ( i ) determining an amount of UF removed from a patient over a first dwell time; ( ii ) determining an amount of UF removed from the patient over a second different dwell time; ( iii ) determining an amount of UF removed from the patient over a third different dwell time; and ( iv ) fitting a curve to the amount of UF removed during the first, second and third dwell time. A peritoneal dialysis therapy generation method generates at least one peritoneal dialysis therapy regimen by using the curve determined according to the "UF" calculation method.
