Abstract
It was found that adsorption of urea on activated carbon was remarkably increased at low temperature near 0°C. Based on this finding, a dialysate-regeneration system was developed using adsorption method at low temperature. Total volume of dialysate was 2.5 L. This system using anephric dogs shows almost the same level of performance to conventional single pass dialysis. With 5 hour dialysis, BUN and creatinine changed from 130.1mg/dl to 39.5mg/dl and from 9.7mg/dl to 3.7mg/dl, respectively.
