Abstract:
In 16 chronically dialysed uraemic patients in the course of altogether 61 treatments with the artificial kidney the UV-absorption spectre of the in-vitro-dialysate of the serum was studied. In uraemia on account of the retention of the metabolic products the UV-absorption spectre of the serum dialysate is extremely increased, a decrease is to be registered after the dialysis. The method discussed is suitable for the control of the effectiveness of haemodialysis and gives a more complex picture concerning the changes during the treatment than the usual laboratory parameters.

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
