Abstract
An apparatus for extracorporeal blood treatment comprises a sensor () for emitting a signal indicating a variation in blood volume (ΔBv″) of an individual () subjected to extracorporeal blood treatment and a sensor () for emitting a signal indicating a weight loss of the individual. A control unit () receives the signals, compares the ratio between the relative variation of blood volume (ΔBv/BV) and the relative variation of weight loss (AWL/TW) of the individual with a desired value, and controls the weight loss of the individual on the basis of the comparison. The apparatus enables automatically controlling a dialysis, preventing some complications due to hypotension.
