  • Title: Performance and clinical use of a convertible hemodialysis (HD) - ultrafiltration (UF) system.
    Author: Kunitomo T, Lowrie EG, O'Brien M, Lazarus JM, Gottlieb MN, Kumazawa S, Merrill JP.
    Journal: Proc Clin Dial Transplant Forum; ; 6():120-8. PubMed ID: 1029880.
    Abstract:
    A hemodialysis-ultrafiltration system has been developed and evaluated. It may be used either as a conventional hemodialyzer or as a nondialytic ultrafilter. When used as a dialyzer an ultrafiltration controller is required to fix ultrafiltration rate at the desired level. Rates of low molecular solute removal are compatible with those observed in commercially available artificial kidney systems, higher clearances are obtained for middle molecules, and the rate of ultrafiltration can be controlled within narrowly prescribed limits.
