ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention relates to an improved method of performing a hemodialysis treatment which includes the steps of providing a dialyzer having a blood flow com- partment separated from a dialysate flow compartment by a semi-permeable membrane, conducting blood to be dialyzed through the blood flow compartment, and conducting a dialysate solution through the dialysate flow compartment. The improvement comprises the step of varying the osmo- larity of the dialysate solution non-linearly as a function of time during at least a portion of the total time used for the treatment.
