2. Renal replacement therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_replacement_therapy

   Renal replacement therapy includes dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), hemofiltration, and hemodiafiltration, which are various ways of filtration of blood with or without machines. Renal replacement therapy also includes kidney transplantation, which is the ultimate form of replacement in that the old kidney is replaced by a donor ...

3. Hemofiltration - Wikipedia

   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.

4. Hemodialysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodialysis

   Hemodialysis, also spelled haemodialysis, or simply dialysis, is a process of filtering the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally. This type of dialysis achieves the extracorporeal removal of waste products such as creatinine and urea and free water from the blood when the kidneys are in a state of kidney failure.

5. Peritoneal dialysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peritoneal_dialysis

   Peritoneal dialysis was first carried out in the 1920s; however, long-term use did not come into medical practice until the 1960s. [35] The timeline was 1923 – Georg Ganter performs the first peritoneal dialysis in a guinea pig and attempts the procedure in humans, without success. Hypertonic saline was used as the dialysate.

6. Ultrafiltration (kidney) - Wikipedia

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

   In renal physiology, ultrafiltration occurs at the barrier between the blood and the filtrate in the glomerular capsule (Bowman's capsule) in the kidneys. As in nonbiological examples of ultrafiltration, pressure (in this case blood pressure) and concentration gradients lead to a separation through a semipermeable membrane (provided by the ...

8. Standardized Kt/V - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardized_Kt/V

   Can be used to compare any dialysis schedule (i.e. nocturnal home hemodialysis vs. daily hemodialysis vs. conventional hemodialysis) Applicable to peritoneal dialysis. Can be applied to patients with residual renal function; it is possible to demonstrate that C o is a function of the residual kidney function and the "cleaning" provided by dialysis.
