Abstract
An artificial kidney comprising a haemodialyser connected to a dialysis liquid circuit has the dialysis liquid circuit designed and simplified so as to be entirely disposable. Preferably, the haemodialyser and also all the circuits for the blood, for the dialysis liquid and for removing the ultrafiltrate are disposable. They can be delivered in a disposable container which can, during treatment, be used as a support and as a dialysis liquid reservoir. A small console includes the re-usable means for controlling and checking the artificial kidney, together with their electric circuits.
