The clinical evaluation of biofiltration.
The clinical evaluation of biofiltration. The authors have studied the effectiveness of biofiltration (BF) in patients with terminal renal failure. They did not find any reduction in the number of hypotensive episodes during BF. The reduced length of the dialysis procedure made possible by BF is suitable for some patients. Subjective feeling during the interdialysis period was better under treatment with BF than under conventional hemodialysis.
