Plasma ultrafiltrate obtained by glomerular filtration undergoes tubular modification which
leads to the elimination of toxic substances, excess water and electrolytes, and
consequently maintains homeostasis. Using normal urine and the substances it contains as
a reference, we have developed a wearable device capable of replacing both the renal
excretion function and maintaining fluid and electrolyte equilibrium in uremics within
acceptable biological limits. Our device includes a hemofilter allowing continuous plasma …
