METHOD OF PLANNING SIMULTANEOUS USE OF PERITONEAL DIALYSIS AND HEMODIALYSIS, AND PLANNING APPARATUS FOR SIMULTANEOUS USE OF PERITONEAL DIALYSIS AND HEMODIALYSIS

摘要

The present invention is a peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis hybrid-remedy planning method using an index that is shared by both peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis and indicates an effect of dialysis. To be specific, the index is M/C(0)/VB, which is obtained by dividing a ratio M/C(0)―where M is a removal amount of a solute for a fixed time period, and C(0) is a concentration of the solute in blood before the dialysis―by a patient's body fluid volume, VB. Conventionally, planning of a PD-HD hybrid remedy is very difficult since no prescription examination parameter shared between PD and HD is not known; however, the present invention is capable of representing the dialysis effect of PD and HD as an integrated sum, as shown above, and achieving concise and explicit PD and HD hybrid-remedy planning.
