  2. Ultrafiltration (kidney) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrafiltration_(kidney)

    Slow continuous ultrafiltration (SCUF) is an artificial method which approximately mimics the ultrafiltration function of the kidneys. SCUF is a continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) generally used to remove fluid from fluid overloaded patients with acute kidney failure. During SCUF blood is continuously removed from the body, passed ...

  3. Renal replacement therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_replacement_therapy

    Before implementing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), acute renal failure (ARF) in critically ill, multiple organ failure patients was managed by intermittent hemodialysis and the mortality rate was very high. [4] Hemodialysis is effective in clearance and ultrafiltration, but it has deleterious effects on hemodynamic stability. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemofiltration

    Hemofiltration is sometimes used in combination with hemodialysis, when it is termed hemodiafiltration. Blood is pumped through the blood compartment of a high flux dialyzer, and a high rate of ultrafiltration is used, so there is a high rate of movement of water and solutes from blood to dialysate that must be replaced by substitution fluid that is infused directly into the blood line.

    As other research has been conducted, it has been argued that using an ultrafiltration pump may not be the best pump for the WAK. For example, research has found that by using a peristaltic pump instead, would allow a person to know their blood flow rate without having a sensor, which is needed in an ultrafiltration pump used in the experiment ...

  9. Aquapheresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquapheresis

    Using a form of ultrafiltration, the filter separates the excess salt and water from the blood and the blood is returned to the patient while the fluid is collected in a bag for later disposal. Anti-coagulation therapy is often used with aquapheresis to prevent blood from clotting the ultrafiltration filter.
