  • Method and system for determining kidney failure
    Patent number: 6695790
    Abstract: A method of determining kidney failure in a patient using an implantable medical device is described. In one embodiment, a first magnitude of a first polarization signal is measured. An additional magnitude of an additional polarization signal is measured after a first interval. A deflection differential between the first magnitude and the additional magnitude is determined and kidney failure in the patient is determined when the deflection differential is greater than an established threshold.
    Type: Grant
