ESTIMATING GENERATION RATE OF SUBSTANCE IN DIALYSIS PATIENTS

A computer system may implement a method of calculating the generation rate of a substance in a dialysis patient, e.g. urea, creatinine or beta-2-microglobulin, based on data for one or more treatment sessions of intermittent dialysis therapy.

Zusammenfassung:	A computer system may implement a method of calculating the generation rate of a substance in a dialysis patient, e.g. urea, creatinine or beta-2-microglobulin, based on data for one or more treatment sessions of intermittent dialysis therapy. The computer system obtains a concentration value (Cs) for the substance in the blood of the dialysis patient at the start of a treatment session, and a standard Kt/V value (stdKt/V) for the substance over a predefined time period (t), which includes the one or more treatment sessions. The computer system then computes the generation rate (G; G/V) as a function of stdKt/V, the first blood concentration value (Cs) and the predefined time period (t).
