Solution for Dialysis Treatment Monitoring
Patients with kidney failure require external assistance to purify their blood. This is usually done through dialysis, an exhaustive treatment process patients need to attend 3 times per week for 4 hours.
The main drawback with dialysis is that the procedures give relatively little feedback about the treatment efficiency. Currently the blood purity is estimated by laboratory analysis, which is carried out once per month or less frequently. Considering that the dialysis frequency is three times per week, there is not sufficient data about majority of the treatments.
Therefore, it is very difficult to steer the treatment to maximize the purification efficiency.
Optofluid Technologies has developed a new solution for dialysis treatment monitoring that enables to monitor the most important dialysis quality parameters in real-time and on-line by measuring all the clinically relevant uremic toxins that affect the treatment quality.
