Patent ID: 8303532

Claim:
A peritoneal function testing apparatus, comprising: a processor; a memory; a computation unit having a program recorded therein; and an output unit configured to output a result of computation by the processor, wherein the program recorded in the computation unit causes the peritoneal function apparatus to perform the following: a first storing step of storing, in the memory, data obtained by a reference-value substitution for at least two of four parameters of MTACu, MTACc, CCr, and Kt/V; a first computation step of computing, by the processor, a formula using the four parameters of MTACu, MTACc, CCr, and Kt/V, based on the data stored in the first storing step, so as to obtain an MTACu/c-drained-fluid-volume curve as a computation result; an output step of outputting, by the output unit, the MTACu/c-drained-fluid-volume curve obtained in the first computation step; a second storing step of storing, in the memory, the computation result obtained in the first computation step; a third storing step of storing clinical data in the memory; a second computation step of computing, by the processor, based on the data recorded in the third storing step the MTACu and MTACc; and a plotting step of plotting the data obtained in the second computation step based on a result outputted in the output step.
