A METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING THE EFFICIENCY OF DIALYSIS

摘要

The invention relates to characterization of a dialyzer's capacity to accomplish a dialysis clearance of a patient, and strategies for improving the efficiency of a dialysis treatment of the patient. The invention involves determining a whole body clearance ratio (420) for a dialysis treatment of a patient (410). The whole body clearance ratio expresses how well the patient responds to a potential cleaning capacity of a dialyzer, which is used to perform the treatment.
