Abstract:
1. A method of monitoring a treatment of a patient, the method comprising the steps of: irradiating a sample of a liquid used in, the treatment with irradiation light of at least a first irradiation wavelength; detecting light emitted by the irradiated sample in at least a first detection wavelength, the detection wavelength being different from the first irradiation wavelength; and determining the presence and/or concentration of at least one analyte in the sample based on the detected light, the liquid being a dialysis liquid and the detected light including fluorescence light, and the presence and/or concentration of the at least one analyte in the sample being determined based on the detected fluorescence light, with the irradiation light being a UV-light having a wavelength of between 180 nm and 400 nm.
