Dialysate delivery: historical, theoretical, and practical aspect
Abstract:
Maintenance hemodialysis has progressed from a tentative therapy for a few patients in Seattle to a generally available treatment sustaining 100,000 patients around the world. The technical principles of dialysis are sufficiently understood to permit fabrication of disposable dialyzers in sheet, coil, or hollow-fiber configuration. Dialysate delivery systems can serve either single patients or groups of patients with high efficiency. Reduction in size of single-parent systems by incorporation of dialysate regeneration or miniaturization of components in a suitcase will promote patient mobility.

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...
