  • Title: Development of a computer-aided diagnosis system for a new modality of renal replacement therapy: an integrated approach combining both peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis.
    Author: Hamada H, Namoto S, Yamada R, Yamashita AC, Ishizaki M, Okamoto M.
    Journal: Comput Biol Med; 2005 Dec; 35(10):845-61. PubMed ID: 16310010.
    Abstract:
    The authors developed a computer-aided diagnosis system that includes a simple clinical test for the chronic renal disease patient who needs an integrated approach that combines both peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis (PD-HD therapy). In this case study, the system simulated and estimated the dialysis outcome, the ultrafiltration volume and nutritional analysis by employing a pharmacokinetic model, and assessed the peritoneal permeable enhancement that can be a grave complication with peritoneal dialysis. This system requires only a minimum amount of nursing time and may be able to predict the optimal treatment schedule for PD-HD therapy and provide therapeutic monitoring in long-term peritoneal dialysis.
