<p>An artificial kidney comprises measurement means (27) for measuring at least one characteristic of the fresh dialysis liquid and of the used liquid. These measurement means (27) are located in a pipe portion common to a branch (28) on the supply pipe (13) for fresh dialysis liquid, and to a branch (29) on the pipe (14) for draining used liquid. Valve means (30, 31, 32) are provided to allow the circulation of liquid exclusively in either branch. By virtue of this arrangement, it is possible to obtain, by calculation, as often as is desired, the value of characteristics of the blood of a patient, and to adjust continuously the functioning of the kidney for a therapeutic objective chosen by the doctor. <IMAGE></p> |
