[Hemodialysis with electrochemical regeneration of dialysis solution]

The method of electrochemical regeneration of dialysis solution is virtually as effective as the traditional hemoperfusion system in removing creatinine and potassium ions from the body, but inferior to it as regards urea and inorganic phosphorus and superior in removal of medium-weight toxins. A more smooth reduction of urea level in the blood provides relatively stable hemodynamics in patients liable to hypotension. Electrochemical regeneration permits a continuous purification of dialysis solution, the regeneration block may be used many times, and sodium hypochlorite produced during electrolysis operation maintains the sterility of the system. Electrochemical regeneration does not require water purification systems, water communication, and dialysis concentrate, this permitting the performance of detoxication in rooms without special equipment.
