Development of an in-line measurement system for blood parameters for individualized patient therapy during dialysis

The goal of this work is to enable a continuous detection of the relevant blood parameters during dialysis treatment, such as electrolyte and urea concentration. This allows a real-time monitoring during the treatment. Thus, the dialysis can be controlled precisely and a more gentle treatment for the patient can be achieved. For this purpose, a novel electrochemical and electromagnetic in-line sensor concept will be developed to determine the blood parameters in extracorporeal circuits.
