Method and apparatus for regulating haemodialysis conditions

摘要

This invention relates to the regulation of the conditions of haemodialysis by ultrafiltration of the blood wherein ultrafiltration conditions are regulated automatically as a function of the difference between the actual weight of the patient and a predetermined area of acceptable weights at any stage during the course of haemodialysis, which area will generally include an ideal curve which the patient's weight will be constrained to follow during the course of haemodialysis. This invention is applicable to the treatment of invalids having chronic renal disease.
