1. A dialysis machine support assembly comprising:
- a platform configured to support a dialysis machine;
a drive assembly configured to move the platform vertically; and
a control unit configured tomonitor input data from a sensor that is disposed along a fluid path between a dialysis fluid pump chamber of the dialysis machine and a patient during treatment, when the dialysis machine is supported by the platform, andoperate the drive assembly to adjust a vertical position of the platform based on the input data.

20. A dialysis machine support assembly, comprising:
-
a base; multiple wheels disposed along a bottom surface of the base; a drive assembly extending upward from the base; a vertically moveable platform secured to a moving portion of the drive assembly, the vertically moveable platform being configured to support a dialysis machine, and a vertical position of the vertically moveable platform being controlled by the drive assembly; multiple legs extending upward from the base; a stationary platform disposed on top of the multiple legs, the stationary platform defining a recess that is sized to receive the vertically moveable platform; multiple hooks extending from sides of the stationary platform, the hooks being configured to support dialysate bags fluidly connected to the dialysis machine during a dialysis treatment; and a control unit configured to monitor input data from a sensor that is disposed along a fluid path between a dialysis fluid pump chamber of the dialysis machine and a patient during treatment, when the machine is supported by the vertically moveable platform, and operate the drive assembly to adjust the vertical position of the vertically moveable platform based on the input data, wherein, the drive assembly is configured to move the vertically moveable platform above and below a height at which the patient is positioned during the dialysis treatment. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
