US Patent 7618531 Hemodialysis treatment apparatus and method for hemodialysis treatment

A hemodialysis treatment apparatus includes a circulating blood volume variation rate detecting device, a vital sign detecting device and a display. The circulating blood volume variation rate detecting device detects a circulating blood volume variation rate of a patient in a time-course of a hemodialysis treatment. The vital sign detecting device detects a vital sign value of the patient in the time-course of the hemodialysis treatment. The display has a screen and displays both the circulating blood volume variation rate and the vital sign value on the screen along a time scale. The hemodialysis treatment apparatus dialyzes and ultrafiltrates extracorporeally circulating blood of the patient to perform the hemodialysis treatment.
