Membranes and filters for haemodiafiltration.
Online haemodiafiltration is an extracorporeal technique, utilizing highly permeable and highly biocompatible membranes, which permits the combination of convective and diffusive solute removal from the blood and offers increased removal of medium-weight uraemic solutes, compared to the more frequently used low-and high-flux haemodialysis. The objective of this chapter is to review the membranes and filters available for haemodiafiltration and to discuss factors that influence their performance during clinical use.
