    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for determining patient dialysis profiles, for example, of peritoneal transport status or disease progression, are described. For example, in one embodiment, a method of determining a patient profile of a dialysis patient may include obtaining a volume of fluid associated with the dialysis patient, generating patient information via fluorescence analysis of the patient fluid, and determining the patient profile based on evaluating the patient information with a profile library, the patient profile comprising at least one of a peritoneal transport status classification or a disease progression. Other embodiments are described.

    Abstract: The described technology may include treatment processes to increase the red blood cell (RBC) population of individuals, particularly chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with renal anemia, by reducing an amount of Piezo1 chemical agonists in the blood of patients. In one embodiment, a method of treating a patient with renal anemia may include increasing RBC lifespan of an RBC population of the patient via reduction of a Piezo1 channel activation duration of at least a portion of the RBC population by reducing an amount of a target uremic compound in the blood of the patient, the target uremic compound having a form that prolongs the Piezo1 channel activation duration, wherein the amount of the target uremic compound may be reduced via selectively removing at least a portion of the target uremic compound from the blood of the patient. Other embodiments are described.
