A feedback control system for relative blood volume-controlled ultrafiltration can be used for control of absolute blood volume. A prescribed target of absolute blood volume can be converted into relative blood volume, and this can subsequently be reached automatically with the integrated feedback system of the dialysis machine. Intradialytic morbid events could be considerably reduced. The whole procedure could be completely automated without altering the hardware of the dialysis device.
