EX-01 dialyzer is better than dialyzer of other types with regard to dialysance, acid-base balance, ultrafiltration and effect on hematocrit. 2) We used 1% xylitol solution as a solution of dialysate. This is useful for diabetic renal failure, but care should be taken about various intestinal disorders. 3) Using EX-01 dialyzer, the Kolff type artificial kidney is well utilized even under today's Japanese medical situation in which shortness of hospital workers is a big problem.
