New compartmental model approach to dialysis.
Compartmental models are used for solving the problem of the control of dialysis therapy. The inadequacy of the existing monocompartmental model is faced, first with a careful analysis of the physiology of the system, then with a method focused on the construction of a new multicompartmental model. Moreover, impedance techniques allow us to solve the problem of measuring the total body water for each patient.
