83 results about "Renal replacement therapy" patented technology

Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is therapy that replaces the normal blood-filtering function of the kidneys. It is used when the kidneys are not working well, which is called renal failure and includes acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Renal replacement therapy includes dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), hemofiltration, and hemodiafiltration, which are various ways of filtration of blood with or without machines. Renal replacement therapy also includes kidney transplantation, which is the ultimate form of replacement in that the old kidney is replaced by a donor kidney.

High convection home hemodialysis/hemofiltration and sorbent system

A system, method and apparatus for performing a renal replacement therapy is provided. In one embodiment, two small high flux dialyzers are connected in series. A restriction is placed between the two dialyzers in the dialysate flow path. The restriction is variable and adjustable in one preferred embodiment. The restriction builds a positive pressure in the venous dialyzer, causing a high degree of intentional backfiltration. That backfiltration causes a significant flow of dialysate through the high flux venous membrane directly into the patient's blood. That backfiltered solution is subsequently ultrafiltered from the patient from the arterial dialyzer. The diffusion of dialysate into the venous filter and removal of dialysate from the arterial dialyzer causes a convective transport of toxins from the patient. Additionally, the dialysate that does not diffuse directly into the patient but instead flows across the membranes of both dialyzers provides a diffusive clearance of waste products.

The invention belongs to the field of blood purification and relates to a method for improving the regional citric acid anticoagulation, in particular to the method for improving the regional citric acid anticoagulation based on a mathematical model. The method comprises two stages of quantificational calculation of calcium supplement amounts for citric acid anticoagulation, namely, in the first stage, quantificationally calculating the sum of in-vitro circulation clearing amount and in-vivo accumulation amount of calcium, and in the second stage, quantificationally calculating the in-vitro circulation clearing amount of the calcium only required to be supplemented. By the method, the infusion speeds of the citric acid and the calcium during regional citric acid anticoagulation during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) can be quantificationally calculated, and the application range of the regional citric acid anticoagulation is greatly expanded. Corresponding application and verification are performed on critical patients requiring regional citric acid anticoagulation CRRT treatment. A result shows that the method is safe and effective and can stabilize in-vivo and in-vitro accumulation ionized calcium level in a proper range; the service life of a filter is prolonged; and the monitoring times are obviously reduced.
