A mathematical model of mass transport of toxic substances with small, middle and large molecules weight in the body compartments and in the extracorporal system was worked out and used in the clinic for individual optimization and prediction of final results when treating patients with acute hepatic and renal failure in plasmadiafiltration. Permeability and the sieving coefficients were found "in vivo" in the plasma for 3 types of dialysers with different membranes. For practical use of this model a program was written by an interactive dialogue for the personal computer.
