A sorbent system (Redy D 11 cartridge) capable of on-line regeneration of ultrafiltrate during hemofiltration (Amicon 0.5 m2) has been developed and applied on a 3 X 4 hr/week schedule to three patients with end-stage renal failure previously treated for up to six months with hemodialysis. Total experience, to date, is sixteen patient months (three to seven months). Tolerance to fluid removal improved with the new system. Patient well-being and rehabilitation have been maintained. The system offers the potential of hemofiltration without sterile replacement fluid or expensive fluid-balancing machines.

A sorbent system (Redy D11 cartridge) capable of 'in line' regeneration of ultrafiltrate during haemofiltration (Amicon 0.5 m2) has been developed and applied on 3 X 4 hr/week schedule to 3 patients with end stage renal failure previously treated for up to 6 months with haemodialysis. Total experience, to date, is 8 patient months. Tolerance to fluid removal improved with the new system. Patient well being and rehabilitation has been maintained. The system offers the potential of haemofiltration without sterile replacement fluid or expensive fluid balancing machines.
