Abstract
This paper presents a newly-developed approach to dialysis treatment-monitoring system based on kinetic modelling. The blood concentration of urea and creatinine can be monitored during dialysis treatment. Removed amounts of fluid from HD patients can be estimated from transmembrane pressure data. It is preferred to have additional monitors of removed fluid, blood pressure, blood volume and dialysate sodium concentration in the monitoring system. New functional membranes are required to develop an implantable artificial kidney necessary for patients with chronic renal failure
