Adaptive system for blood fluid removal

A method carried out by a blood fluid removal system, comprising:

• initiating a blood fluid removal session, using a blood fluid removal device, with initial system parameters;
• acquiring a first set of data regarding one or more patient physiological parameters, wherein the one or more patient physiological parameters include at least one of pH and concentration of an electrolyte;
• storing the first data set in a most effective to date data set memory;
• associating the initial system parameters in an increased effectiveness lookup table with the first data set;
• adjusting at least one parameter of the blood fluid removal session by adjusting the blood fluid removal system to arrive at adjusted system parameters;
• acquiring a second set of data regarding the one or more patient physiological parameters after the at least one parameter of the blood fluid removal session has been adjusted;
• and
• determining which of the first and second set of data includes at least one value closer to a target value;
• storing in the increased effectiveness lookup table data regarding the data set having at least one value closer to the target value;
• and associating data regarding the adjusted system parameters with the data set having at least one value closer to the target value;
• and
• repeating the process beginning with acquiring a first set of data regarding one or more patient physiological parameters;
• storing the first data set in a least effective to date data set memory;
• associating the initial system parameters in a decreased effectiveness lookup table with the first data set prior to adjusting the at least one parameter of the blood fluid removal session;
• determining which of the first and second set of data includes at least one value further from the target value;
• storing in the decreased effectiveness lookup table data regarding the data set having at least one value further from the target value;
• and associating data regarding the adjusted system parameters with the data set having at least one value further from to the target value;
• replacing the data in the least effective to date data set with the data from the data set having at least one value further from the target value;
• and
• continuing the blood fluid removal session with the system parameters in the most effective to date data set;
• wherein the blood fluid removal system performs at least one blood fluid removal process selected from the group consisting of ultrafiltration, hemofiltration, hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration and peritoneal dialysis.
