The patient weight measurement data and blood analysis data read here are transmitted to the microprocessor 9 (see FIG. 2). The microprocessor 9 uses the weight measurement data and I
The amount of water removed on the day of treatment is calculated from the basic weight value written in the C card 20 and is instructed to a water removal amount control device (not shown).

As a result, the amount of water removed can be set by the patient himself. Therefore, the nurse is free from troublesome work such as checking the basic weight of the patient from the medical chart to calculate the water removal amount and setting the water removal amount and various errors. At this time, blood analysis data is also read from the IC card 20 at the same time and temporarily stored in the RAM 11. After that, the transition of blood analysis data is graphically displayed on the television 7 in the same procedure as in the first embodiment.
