Abstract
A dialysis machine includes an extracorporeal blood circuit having an arterial pipe and a venous pipe respectively connected to an inlet and an outlet of a blood compartment of a filter. The blood compartment and a dialysis liquid compartment of the filter are separated by a semi-permeable membrane. The machine is configured to determine a sequence of infusion of a liquid in the extracorporeal blood circuit, from at least one characteristic value correlated with the concentration of the blood and/or a filtration efficiency of the filter, and to infuse the infusion solution in the arterial pipe and in the venous pipe in accordance with the determined infusion sequence.
