Influences of the site of diluting fluid substitution on hemodiafiltration processing.
In hemodiafiltration, the diluting fluid can be substituted before or after the ultrafilter. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed below. To avoid hemoconcentration when passing through the ultrafilter, we prefer substitution of the diluting fluid to blood before the ultrafilter and accept the greater composition of diluting fluid.
