ABSTRACT:
A process for the removal of toxins from the body in a continuous manner while the patient is totally ambulatory. The process involves the infusion of a dialysate fluid under prescribed conditions into the peritoneal cavity. The toxic solutes are transported across the peritoneum membrane into the dialysate fluid by the natural processes of diffusion and convection. The dialysate fluid and the toxins are then removed after a prescribed residence phase. Apparatus includes an indwelling balloon catheter surgically implanted within the peritoneal cavity of a patient, a dacron cuff surgically attached to the abdominal wall, and an external quick connect coupling attached to the catheter. Apparatus may also include a wearable microbiological filter unit for reducing the risk of peritonitis during infusion of dialysate fluid.
