ABSTRACT:
The delivered dose of hemodialysis in large patients is often less the adequate. The present invention provides a method and apparatus for dialysis which increases the clearance of urea in patients weighing 80 kilograms or more. The apparatus is comprised of two dialyzers which may be connected to a patient in parallel configuration. The present invention can be practiced with any commercially available dialyzers and dialysis machines without requiring expensive modifications which negate manufacturers warranties and inherent safety features. The present invention provides a safe, cost effective way to increase the delivered dose of hemodialysis in patients weighing 80 kilograms or more.
