A hybrid technique combining diffusion and convection to increase the clearance of larger "middle molecules" that standard dialysis might miss.
The process of filtering biological fluids involves removing metabolic waste and excess water from the blood through a semi-permeable membrane. This document covers the physical principles used in Hemodialysis and advanced therapies like Hemodiafiltration .
1. Introduction to Advanced Filtration
Preventing filter clotting during high-volume convection.
Hemofiltration techniques are the primary choice for critical patients in intensive care units.
The specific pressure gradient between the blood compartment and the dialysate that drives the filtration rate. 3. Clinical Applications
