The present invention provides a blood treatment device and methods of
blood treatment to provide an individual patient with the most suitable
blood treatment and reduced treatment duration. Specifically, the
invention provides a blood treatment device comprising a treating means
11 that treats blood collected from a patient; a measuring means 12 that
measures parameters of the patient's blood and indicates blood condition;
a controlling means 13 that controls the treatment procedures based upon
the blood parameters; a storing means 15 that records an ideal
patient-specific blood parameter curve for the treatment duration; and a
directing means 14 that directs the control by the controlling means 13
so that the measured blood parameters approximate to the ideal blood
parameter curve by comparing the measured blood parameters with the ideal
blood parameter curve recorded by the storing means 15.
