Device for the recognition of complications during an extracorporeal blood treatment with a blood treatment device, in which the blood to be treated flows in an extracorporeal blood circuit through the blood chamber of a dialyzer divided by a semipermeable membrane in the Blood chamber and a chamber for dialysate fluid and dialysate fluid flows in a dialysate fluid circuit through the dialysate chamber for dialysate fluid, presenting the monitoring equipment: means (18) for changing a physical or chemical characteristic variable of blood in the extracorporeal blood circuit (6), means (18) for changing a physical or chemical characteristic variable of the dialysate liquid in the dialysate liquid circuit (7), means (13, 17; 25, 26) for measuring variables physical or chemical characteristics of blood or dedialized liquid, a first equipment (27) for monitoring of the recirculation of the blood treatment that interacts in such a way with the means to change a physical or chemical characteristic variable of the blood and the means to measure a physical or chemical characteristic variable of the blood or dialysate fluid, which recirculation can be monitored at basis of a change of the physical or chemical characteristic variable of the blood, a device (29) for monitoring the dialysis or blood treatment clearance that interacts in such a way with the means to change a physical or chemical characteristic variable of the blood dialysate liquid and the means for measuring a physical or chemical characteristic variable of the blood or dialysate liquid, which can monitor the dialysis or clearance based on a change of the measured chemical or physical characteristic variable of the dialysate liquid, characterized in that the equipment (29) for monitoring the dialysis or clearance Rationing is configured as a second device for the supervision of recirculation, and recirculation can be monitored based on the verification of the change in dialysis or clearance and an evaluation tea
