Abstract
We newly developed an apparatus to measure colloid osmotic pressure (C OP) of blood plasma continuously by hemodialysis (HD) or extracorporea l ultrafiltration method (ECUM) without any invasive procedure or bloo d sampling. The COP value measured by this apparatus highly correlated with the COP value calculated from the concentration of total protein of blood plasma (TP) sampled simultaneously (y=21.182+0.96256x, r(2)= 0.911). Measurement of the COP with this apparatus seems to be reliabl e.
