Abstract
A method for determining a treatment regimen for altering the treatment parameters when dialyzing a patient over a plurality of treatment sessions taking place on future days includes determining a diffusive total target sodium balance; and determining a transitional treatment regimen by which the diffusive total target sodium balance is achieved over the plurality of future treatment sessions. A control device or closed-loop control device is configured to control a blood treatment apparatus using the method.
Claims19
A method for determining a treatment regimen for altering treatment parameters when dialyzing a patient over a plurality of treatment sessions taking place on future days, the method comprising:
- determining a diffusive total target sodium balance;
- and
- determining a transitional treatment regimen by which the diffusive total target sodium balance is achieved over the plurality of future treatment sessions.
The method according to claim 5, wherein the steps of claim 23 are repeated for each of the plurality of treatment sessions following the first treatment session until the sum of each corrected volume of each treatment session of the plurality of treatment sessions reaches a total volume, which assumes or exceeds the ultrafiltration volume of the first treatment session.
The method according to claim 6, wherein the steps of claim 23 are repeated for a plurality of successive treatment sessions.
The method according to claim 8, wherein the steps of claim 26 are repeated for the plurality of successive treatment sessions until the value of the diffusive sodium balance desired during the upcoming treatment session assumes, or is less than, the diffusive total target sodium balance.
A control device or a closed-loop control device configured for performing a method comprising:
- determining a diffusive total target sodium balance;
- and
- determining a transitional treatment regimen by which the diffusive total target sodium balance is achieved over a plurality of future treatment sessions.
A blood treatment apparatus comprising:
- a control device configured to control the blood treatment apparatus by executing a method, the method comprising:
- determining a diffusive total target sodium balance;
- and
- determining a transitional treatment regimen by which the diffusive total target sodium balance is achieved over the plurality of future treatment sessions.
