Visualization of the laboratory data described by the hemodialysis medical information exchange format (HeMX)

Abstract

The Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy proposed a hemodialysis medical information exchange format (HeMX) that is an extensible markup language (XML) document. However, the HeMX was used only on the classic form of an introduction card or facsimile, not electronically, in the information exchange between the hemodialysis clinics. In the present study, we tried to visualize the HeMX data in a form of table and graph by expanding the HeMX. The HeMX data file included some virtual laboratory data for these trials. The XML stylesheet language included the Microsoft Web component and Java Script for the graphic display.
