  • Publication number: 20220193315
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hemodialysis membrane for the treatment of restless leg syndrome (RLS), especially in severe and very severe cases and/or in patients which suffer from kidney failure and already receive hemodialysis. The present disclosure therefore also relates to methods of treating restless leg syndrome. The treatment and method encompasses using a hemodialysis membrane which is characterized in that it comprises at least one hydrophobic polymer and at least one hydrophilic polymer and in that it has a MWRO of between 8.5 and 14.0 kD and a MWCO of between 55 kD and 130 kD.

  • Publication number: 20220093261
    Abstract: A chronic kidney disease (“CKD”) machine learning prediction system is disclosed. The example system is configured to provide a projection as to whether a patient may progress to a next stage of CKD and/or whether the patient may need to urgently start dialysis. The machine learning algorithms disclosed herein include dynamic, multifactorial predictive algorithms that are programmed to consider clinical, pharmacological, and extra-clinical factors that adversely impact kidney function. The predictions provided by the machine learning system convey information to clinicians for improving CKD treatment before the disease worsens. In some instances, the predictions may be used for selecting a treatment plan, a dialysis treatment, and/or a renal replacement therapy (“RRT”).
