Continuous monitoring of urea levels during hemodialysis. 1978

E Klein, and J G Montalvo, and R Wawro, and F F Holland, and A Lebeouf

An ammonium ion-specific electrode system is evaluated for analysis of blood urea nitrogen from serum, plasma ultrafiltrate, or hemodialyzer dialysate fluid. The electrode shows a high sensitivity over clinically useful concentration ranges. Free serum ammonia, volatile amines, or urea ammonia after hydrolysis can be measured. In a double blind study excellent correlation was found for 187 blood urea nitrogen samples measured with the electrode with standard auto-analyzer techniques. Continuous monitoring of urea in dialysate fluid is described. Urea clearances were measured from dialysate effluent from an in vitro dialysis using conventional equipment. These values show excellent correlation to those from stnadard analysis methods. A continuous urea sensor for on-line hemodialysis application which can provide quantification of therapy is described.

D001806 Blood Urea Nitrogen The urea concentration of the blood stated in terms of nitrogen content. Serum (plasma) urea nitrogen is approximately 12% higher than blood urea nitrogen concentration because of the greater protein content of red blood cells. Increases in blood or serum urea nitrogen are referred to as azotemia and may have prerenal, renal, or postrenal causes. (From Saunders Dictionary & Encyclopedia of Laboratory Medicine and Technology, 1984) BUN,Nitrogen, Blood Urea,Urea Nitrogen, Blood
D002986 Clinical Trials as Topic Works about pre-planned studies of the safety, efficacy, or optimum dosage schedule (if appropriate) of one or more diagnostic, therapeutic, or prophylactic drugs, devices, or techniques selected according to predetermined criteria of eligibility and observed for predefined evidence of favorable and unfavorable effects. This concept includes clinical trials conducted both in the U.S. and in other countries. Clinical Trial as Topic
