Abstract
A method for determining the dry weight of a patient after dialysis therapy, wherein the patient's blood volume is monitored and blood volume values are output. The blood volume values are recorded and evaluated for a predetermined period of time after reaching an ultrafiltration volume appropriately predetermined for the patient, wherein the dry weight of the patient then is determined on the basis of the rate of change of the blood volume during the predetermined period of time.
