متن کاملThe artificial kidney and urea clearance.
A theoretical efficiency has been calculated from the known urea clearance of the artificial kidney, the assumed total body water of the patient, and the initial plasma urea. The efficiency of dialysis never significantly exceeded the calculated figure. In some patients with trauma or glomerulonephritis the efficiency was very poor whereas in patients with renal failure complicating pregnancy t...
متن کاملClinical evaluation of a disposable artificial kidney.
The in-vivo performance of a new disposable parallel flow countercurrent type of artificial kidney has been compared with that of the modified four-layered Kiil dialyser. The dialysance of urea and endogenous creatinine in the former was significantly better than in the latter for similar blood flow rates, and, moreover, unlike the dialysance with the Kiil dialyser it continued to improve over ...
متن کاملA Proposed Peritoneal-Based Wearable Artificial Kidney.
Ideally, an artificial kidney should simulate the normal kidney in providing continuous metabolic control, removal of toxins, and unrestricted patient freedom. Of the dialysis procedures available, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) comes the closest to this ideal but provides inadequate dialysis and fails to remove protein-bound toxins. A continuous, wearable, peritoneal-based ar...
