20100010429 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING PERITONEAL DIALYSIS - 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. | 01-14-2010 |
20100056990 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR DETECTION OF MICROBIAL CONTAMINANTS IN PERITONEAL DIALYSIS SOLUTIONS - Methods and compositions for detection of microbial contaminants in peritoneal dialysis solutions are provided. The methods and compositions employ modified bioburden testing and the detection of peptidoglycan. A novel cause of aseptic peritonitis is provided—aseptic peritonitis associated with gram positive microbial contamination of a dialysis solution. Peptidoglycan is a major component of a gram positive bacterial cell wall and thus can serve as a marker for gram positive bacteria. In this regard, testing for peptidoglycans can be utilized to effectively prevent peritonitis in patients that use the peritoneal dialysis solutions, such as peritoneal dialysis solutions that contain a glucose polymer including an icodextrin and the like. | 03-04-2010 |
20110303590 | WEIGHT/SENSOR-CONTROLLED SORBENT SYSTEM FOR HEMODIALYSIS - A hemodialysis system including (i) a dialyzer; (ii) a blood circuit including a blood pump in fluid communication with the dialyzer; (iii) a dialysate circuit including a dialysate circulation pump in fluid communication with the dialyzer, the dialysate circuit further including a sorbent cartridge for cleaning used dialysate; (iv) a container holding an initial supply of dialysate; (v) a container pump in fluid communication with the dialysate circuit and the container; (vi) a supply of concentrate; and (vii) an electronic weight balance positioned and arranged to weigh the supply of concentrate. | 12-15-2011 |
20120037558 | METHOD AND COMPOSITION FOR REMOVING UREMIC TOXINS IN DIALYSIS PROCESSES - Methods and devices for providing dialysis treatment are provided. The device includes a resin bed including zirconium phosphate, zirconium oxide, and urease. | 02-16-2012 |
20120238525 | PERITONEAL DIALYSIS SOLUTIONS COMPRISING GLUCOSE POLYMERS - Peritoneal dialysis solutions including a glucose polymer and methods of using the dialysis solutions are disclosed herein. In a general embodiment, the peritoneal dialysis solution includes a glucose polymer in an amount to provide an increased ultrafiltration fluid volume for a given amount of carbohydrate absorbed compared to conventional dialysis solutions containing icodextrin as the active pharmaceutical ingredient. The increased ultrafiltration fluid volume for a given amount of carbohydrate absorbed is obtained by providing specific combinations of weight-average molecular weight, polydispersity index and concentration of the glucose polymer in the dialysis solution. | 09-20-2012 |
