Orally diluting hemofiltration

Orally diluting hemofiltration (ODHF), herein reported, is a new technique where the body fluid is purified by cooperative procedures of dilution-supplementation with oral electrolyte solution and filtration using the RP-6 dialyzer. One uremic patient was maintained for two months on a five-hour, three-times-per-week ODHF schedule, and another patient was maintained for four months on the same regimen with no supportive hemodialysis.
