PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved on-line, real time hemodialysis monitoring system for hemodialysis treatment apparatus. SOLUTION: The improved on-line, real time hemodialysis monitoring system for hemodialysis treatment apparatus quantitates the rate and amount of a constituent, such as urea, removed during the hemodialysis treatment by measuring the constituent concentrations in the spent dialysate effluent from a hemodialysis apparatus as a function of time. A large quantity of the spent dialysate effluent is taken out from the dialysate effluent discharging line periodically for testing. A urea concentration time profile distribution can be analyzed in order to determine the urea removal, KT/V, URR, SRI, and normalized protein catabolic rate (nPCR) indices. The hemodialysis monitoring system preferably can obtain a dialysate sample equilibrated with the blood prior to the start of a hemodialysis treatment apparatus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
