    Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or apparatuses may be operative to perform a dialysis process that includes a displacer infusion process. The dialysis machine may include at least one processor and a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, may cause the at least one processor to access dialysis information for a dialysis process performed by a dialysis machine, the dialysis information indicating a target substance to be displaced from a binding compound by a displacer, and determine an infusion profile for infusing the displacer into a patient during a displacer infusion process of the dialysis process, the infusion profile determined based on the dialysis information and an infusion constraint. Other embodiments are described.

    Abstract: The described technology may include processes to model renal pathophysiology in patients and/or patient populations. In one embodiment, a method may include a CKD/ESRD condition analysis, such as a vascular calcification analysis. The method may include, via a processor of a computing device: determining a vascular calcification model configured to model vascular calcification of a virtual patient to determine a causal relationship between at least one patient characteristic and a vascular calcification indicator, and generating a causal relationship structure configured to visualize a causal relationship between the at least one patient characteristic and the vascular calcification indicator. Other embodiments are described.

    Abstract: The described technology may include processes to model parathyroid gland (PTG) functionality and/or calcimimetic administration to patients with a health abnormality that affects PTG function. In one embodiment, a method may include providing a PTG functionality model configured to simulate functionality of a PTG of a patient with a health abnormality affecting PTG function, the model may receive a parameters configured to regulate activity of calcium-sensing receptors (CaSR), the parameters may include a calcium concentration, a vitamin D concentration, and a phosphorous concentration, simulate CaSR expression and vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression via a positive feedback loop between the CaSR expression and the VDR expression, and suppression of the CaSR expression and the VDR expression by P, initiate at least one PTG adaptation based on the parameters, and determine a model output comprising a parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration at one or more time intervals. Other embodiments are described.

    Abstract: A method for detecting occult hemorrhages is provided. The method comprises: obtaining, by a medical system comprising a blood monitoring system, a first hematocrit concentration prior to infusing a saline solution into a bloodstream of the patient; infusing, by the medical system, the saline solution into the bloodstream of the patient; obtaining, by the medical system, a second hematocrit concentration after infusing the saline solution into the bloodstream; determining, by the medical system, a first absolute blood volume based on the first hematocrit concentration and the second hematocrit concentration; generating, by the medical system, a notification indicating a potential occult hemorrhage based on the first absolute blood volume and a pre-defined absolute blood volume threshold; and providing, by the medical system, the notification indicating the potential occult hemorrhage.
