Abstract
Wearable, continuously internally operable, externally regenerable dialysis system in which body fluids are dialyzed against a first dialysis fluid within a chamber in the body without invasion of veins or arteries, the chamber being a body cavity or a semi-permeable wall within the body, the dialysis fluid being regenerated in a chamber outside the body against a second dialysis fluid which is continuously regenerated in a belt supported apparatus, the internal and external chambers being in fluid communication.

- 1. Wearable, continuously internally operable and externally regnerable dialysis device comprising means concurrently dialyzing a confined dialysis dluid against body fluids within the body intestines and regenerating said dialysis fluid outside the body.
- 6. Wearable, continuously internally operable and externally regenerable dialysis device comprising a body fluid-dialyzing semipermeable generally tubular internal chamber resistant to deterioration from exposure within the body, and an external chamber, said internal chamber being adapted to extended disposition within a user'"'"'s body intestines in body fluid-dialzying relation and freely of interior communication with veins and arteries, said external chamber being in continuous open communication with said internal chamber, a pump to exchange a first dialysis fluid between said internal chamber and said external chamber, and means to regenerate said first dialysis fluid during passage through said external chamber for return to said internal chamber.
- 19. Wearable, continuously internally operable and externally regenerable dialysis device comprising a body fluid dialyzing internal chamber sized and arranged to define an extended dialyzing interface with body fluids outside the veins and arteries of the user'"'"'s body, said internal chamber being integral with living tissue of the user'"'"'s intestine, and free of interior open communication with said intestine.

20. Wearable, continuously internally operable and externally regenerable dialysis device comprising a body fluid dialyzing internal chamber sized and arranged to define an extended dialzying interface with body fluids outside the veins and arteries of the user'"'"'s body, said internal chamber being defined by the living tissue of the user'"'"'s body, said internal chamber being defined by the living tissue of the user'"'"'s rectum, and free of interior open communication with the user'"'"'s intestine.

21. Wearable, continuously internally operable and externally regenerable dialysis device comprising a body fluid dialyzing internal chamber sized and arranged to define an extended dialzying interface with body fluids outside the veins and arteries of the user'"'"'s body, said internal chamber being defined by a closed semipermeable wall disposed within the user'"'"'s rectum free of interior open communication with the user'"'"'s intestine.
- 23. Wearable, continuously internally operable and externally regenerable dialysis device comprising a body fluid-dialzying internal chamber an external chamber in continuous open communication therewith, said internal chamber being defined at least in part by the rectum out of communication with the intestine and adapted to contain dialyzing fluid in body fluid-dialyzing relation, pump means to exchange a first dialysis fluid between said internal and external chambers and means to dialyze said first dialysis fluid in said external chamber for return to said internal portion and concurrently with said exchange.
- 26. Wearable, continuously internally operable and externally regenerable dialysis device for a person having a by-passed rectum as by a colostomy, said device having an internal chamber and an external chamber, said internal chamber being defined by the rectum of the wearer, whereby fluids passed from the rectum interior wall, said external chamber comprising a body fluid-dialyzing relation with the rectum interior wall, said external chamber comprising a body fluid-dialyzing semipermeable chamber in open communication with said internal chamber, means to exchange dialysis fluid between said internal and external chambers, and means to regenerate said first dialysis fluid within said external chamber for return to said internal chamber for continuing body fluid dialysis.
- 38. Method for the continuous dialyzing of body fluid within the body, including urging a first dialysis fluid through the body intestines in body-fluid dialyzing relation and dialyzing said first dialysis against a second dialysis fluid differing in composition from said first dialysis fluid in first dialyzing fluid regenerating relation.
- 44. Method for dialysis including concurrently dialyzing a confined dialysis fluid against body fluids within the body intestines and regnerating said dialysis fluid outside the body.
- 50. Method for internally dialyzing the body while externally regenerating the dialysis fluid including confining within the body intestines a common dialyzing fluid in body fluid dialyzing relation, regenerating said common dialysis fluid against a second dialysis fluid outside the body, and exchanging said regenerated dialysis fluid with said confined dialysis fluid.
