The instant method involves intermittently infusing saline boluses into a patient's bloodstream during dialysis, and monitoring how long it takes for the bolus to complete a full circuit through the body. The concentrations versus time of one of more return flows as a result of the injected bolus are measured including a peak resulting from a fast circuit path, a peak resulting from a slow circuit path, and an average of the two aforementioned peaks. These parameters can be monitored over time in response to the injection of a plurality of boluses and their values over time used to determine the condition of the patient. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims. |
