Abstract
An artificial kidney comprising a haemodialyser 16 connected to a dialysis liquid circuit. The latter can be entirely integrated, that is to say that the functions previously performed by a plurality of self-contained members connected to one another are now performed by a common unit consisting of a very small number of multifunctional components. This common unit is preferably disposable. A small console groups together, with their electric circuits, the re-usable means for controlling and checking the artificial kidney.
