Claim:
Method of setting up a dialysis treatment in a dialysis machine ( 1 ) provided with a device ( 6 ) for setting up the dialysis treatment comprising a microprocessor ( 11 ), a data input ( 12 , 13 ) and a screen ( 13 ), the method comprising the steps of: supplying a group of functions (U(t,P); C(t,P)) of a quantity (U; C) characteristic of the dialysis treatment as a function of time (t) and of a variable parameter (P) correlated with intermediate values (U i , C i ) of each function (U(t,P); C(t,P)) of the group; selecting a subset of the group of functions (U(t,P); C(t,P)) imposing boundary conditions (U 0 , TWL, DT; C 0 , C f , DT; C 0 , CS, DT) characteristic of a particular therapy; assigning values to parameter (P) and displaying the curves corresponding to the functions (U(t,P); C(t,P)) of the subset and to the respective values assigned to parameter (P); and selecting one of the functions ((U(t,P); C(t,P)) of the subset on the basis of the images of the curves.
