[Short-term dialyses using the Rhodial system]

R Lichtenberg

    Zeitschrift Fur Urologie Und Nephrologie
    |July 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    New dialysis technology using the acrylonitril-membrane (RP 6) in a closed system significantly shortens dialysis time. This allows for more efficient treatment, improving patient rehabilitation and outcomes in hemodialysis patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Biomaterials Science

    Context:

    • Optimizing patient rehabilitation during dialysis requires shorter treatment durations.
    • Conventional dialyzers present limitations in effectively reducing dialysis time without complications.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the acrylonitril-membrane (RP 6) within the Rhodial-system for significantly shortening dialysis periods.
    • To assess the impact of reduced dialysis time on patient recovery and key physiological markers.

    Summary:

    • The Rhodial-system with the RP 6 dialyzer enables a drastic reduction in dialysis time, allowing treatments of 3x3 hours weekly for oligo-anuric patients.
    • Over 3,000 dialysis sessions were analyzed, monitoring micromolecular substances, hemoglobin, hematocrit, blood pressure, polyneuropathy, and patient subjective experience.
    • The high efficiency of the RP 6 dialyzer in clearing middle molecules facilitates this time reduction.
