Abstract: 【Abstract】Hemodialysis is one of the first clinical treatment technologies featured by blood extracorporeal circulation. It has been used for the treatment of uremic patients for more than 100 years. In recent 20 years, a series of blood purification technologies have been developed based on hemodialysis. To date, hemodialysis is still the most widely used blood purification technology. This paper summarizes the development of hemodialysis technology in China, including the development of equipment (including materials) and hemodialysis methods.
