Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A regenerative peritoneal dialysis system includes a dialysis fluid loop; a filter located in the dialysis fluid loop, a first portion of the dialysis fluid sent to the filter rejected by the filter and returned upstream of the filter, a second portion of the dialysis fluid sent to the filter forming permeate, the permeate being rich in urea; and a urea removing apparatus located in the dialysis fluid loop downstream from the filter to receive the permeate and absorb urea from the permeate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A regenerative peritoneal dialysis method comprising: fluidly communicating a regeneration loop with a patient loop, the regeneration loop including a filter and a urea absorbing system; sending fluid to the filter located in the regenerative loop; rejecting a first portion of the fluid sent to the filter; returning the rejected first portion of the fluid upstream of the filter so that the rejected first portion of the fluid avoids the urea absor…
