HEMODIALYZER

摘要

Provided is a hemodialyzer in which deterioration in membrane performance of a hollow fiber with time can be grasped accurately during dialysis and the performance can be recovered quickly and positively. The hemodialyzer, constituted by connecting an artery side blood circuit (2) having a blood pump (7) to the artery side of a dialyzer (1), connecting a vein side blood circuit (3) to the vein side of the dialyzer (1), and connecting a dialysate supply line (4) and a dialysate discharge line (5), respectively, to the side face of the dialyzer (1), is provided with a detector (15) for determining the pressure in the blood circuit, and a detector (16) for determining the pressure in the dialysate line, in which transmembrane pressure is calculated based on the determined pressures, and reverse filtering is performed by the dialyzer (1) when the transmembrane pressure exceeds a predetermined level. Reverse filtering is performed by flushing operation and clogging of pores of the dialyzing membrane in the dialyzer (1) is eliminated thus recovering performance of the dialyzer (1).
