[Experimental and clinical studies of methods for regenerating the dialysis solution]

The efficacy of artificial kidney apparatuses was assessed by using 5 different methods of regenerating the dialysis solution. In the series of model experiments the authors have studied the quality of the solution purification from urea, creatinine, uric acid, nonorganic phosphorus and potassium ions. Clinical trial of the regeneration systems was performed in patients with chronic renal failure on preparation for renal transplantation. The efficacy of the regeneration systems by elimination from the blood of metabolic products was not inferior to the standard hemodialysis system working in the discharge mode. The most promising method was that of electrochemical regeneration of the dialysis solution.
