Orally diluting hemofiltration (ODHF), herein reported, is a new technique where the body fluid is purified by cooperative procedures of dilution‐supplementation with oral electrolyte solution and filtration using the RP‐6 dialyzer. One uremic patient was maintained for two months on a five‐hour, three‐times‐per‐week ODHF schedule, and another patient was maintained for four months on the same regimen with no supportive hemodialysis.
