ABSTRACT:
A system and method using same are provided for determining the optimum operating conditions of a dialysis process that yields the highest whole body dialysis clearance. The system varies a parameter that effects dialysis efficiency during part of a dialysis run. The system then measures a metabolite concentration in an outflow dialysate. The system develops a metabolite concentration profile as a function of the varied parameter. Based on these measurements, the system correlates the metabolite concentration measurements to determine the optimum parameter setting that yields the maximum metabolite concentration.
