To meet a growing need, a single dialysis apparatus has been developed that can easily be employed by conventionally trained staff to perform volume programmed ultrafiltration hemodialysis, sequential ultrafiltration-hemodialysis, hemofiltration, or any combination of these with either acetate or bicarbonate based dialysate. Continued studies will be necessary to establish its full suitability for general use. However, we feel that the investigations of the various modes of dialysis therapy that this device makes so readily available show great potential for improving the treatment of ESRD.
