[Possibilities of using hemoperfusion in the treatment of chronic kidney insufficiency]

Abstract

A survey of the administration possibilities of the activated charcoal haemoperfusion in the treatment of the chronic renal insufficiency is given. Various coating methods for activated charcoal as well as important adsorption abilities of the activated charcoal for uraemia-specific metabolites are described in detail. Then comes a classification of the haemoperfusion in the treatment of ureamia. The result is that at present the use of haemoperfusion with activated charcoal in the therapy of uraemia may be regarded only as a supplementary therapy of the haemodialysis and the haemofiltration, respectively.
