Hemofiltration, also haemofiltration, is a renal replacement therapy which is used in the intensive care setting. It is usually used to treat acute kidney injury (AKI), but may be of benefit in …

Similar to hemodialysis (HD), hemofiltration (HF) is a therapy designed to improve clearance for patients experiencing renal dysfunction. Hemofiltration is achieved by convective clearance, in …

The optimal choice of modality for acute renal replacement therapy is unclear at present. Diffusive therapy (hemodialysis) removes small solutes mainly, whereas convective therapies …

In continuous hemofiltration, water and solutes filter from the blood by convection through a permeable membrane; the filtrate is discarded, and the patient must receive infusions of …

Divided into three parts, the book provides a swift but adequate and comprehensive introduction into the principles and techniques, devices, and practical aspects of haemofiltration. The first …

Hemofiltration is a method whereby the removal of a compound occurs primarily by convective solute transport, rather than diffusion. It is performed using highly permeable membranes, with …

2018年4月9日 · HEMOFILTRATION (HF) In comparison to diffusion-based HD, HF relies on convection through a larger pore hemofilter. The key difference is the absence of dialysate. …

1997年5月1日 · Hemofiltration does not cure acute renal failure, but it is a safe and efficient way of replacing renal function while the kidneys recover from disease or injury.

Our finding of a 33% shorter time to filter failure with hemofiltration, combined with its higher fluid requirements to achieve similar small molecule clearance, implies that hemofiltration may …

This extensive review describes the settings for continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration (CAVH) and attempts to compare it to traditional dialysis therapies for acute renal failure.
