Dialysis method and system including wireless patient data

A renal therapy system comprising:

• a renal therapy machine configured to
• perform a dialysis treatment on a patient according to a prescription,
• generate ultrafiltration (“UF”) removed data over the dialysis treatment performed by the renal therapy machine, and
• transmit the UF removed data;
• a receiver coded with at least one of an address or a personal identification number (“PIN”), the receiver configured to
• receive blood pressure data and a coded address or PIN from a blood pressure monitor over a frequency, data rate, or communication protocol, the blood pressure monitor located external to the renal therapy machine,
• compare the at least one coded address or PIN of the receiver to the address or PIN provided with the blood pressure data to ensure that the blood pressure data is received and processed by the receiver as opposed to extraneous data received over the same frequency, data rate, or communication protocol from sources other than the blood pressure monitor, including devices in proximity of the receiver,
• receive the UF removed data from the renal therapy machine, and
• transmit the blood pressure data and the UF removed data via a network;
• and
• a server communicatively coupled to the receiver via the network, the server configured to
• determine at least one of a UF trend or a blood pressure trend from at least one of the UF removed data or the blood pressure data,
• compare at least one of the UF trend or the blood pressure trend to at least one respective upper or lower limit, and
• generate an alarm or alert responsive to at least one of the UF trend or the blood pressure trend being outside of the at least one respective upper or lower limit;
• and
• a doctor or clinician computer communicatively coupled to the server and configured to display the UF removed data and the blood pressure data.

• display information indicative of the alarm or the alert.
