Hemodialysis with Kiil-type artificial kidney--two years experience and study on dialysate

摘要

Three patients with acute renal failure and 9 patients with chronic renal failure were treated by hemodialysis with the Kiil-type artificial kidney. During 2 year-period of April 1967 to March 1969, 350 hemodialyses in total were performed. Two of these patients with acute renal failure were relieved and 4 patients with chronic renal failure are still now being treated by hemodialysis. From these experiences, we investigated 1) method of dialysis, 2) efficiency of dialysis, 3) complications during dialysis, 4) suitability of dialysate.
