P. 42
• Mathematical estimates and direct measurements both suggest that
under conditions of an usual hemodialysis (blood flow 200– 300 ml ⁄
minute, dialysate flow 500 ml ⁄ minute, weight gain 2.5 kg)
- At least 1.5 l of backfiltration will occur with high-flux membranes
(KUF 40 ml ⁄ hour · mmHg).
- No backfiltration occurs with low-flux membranes (KUF 6ml⁄ hour ·
mmHg)
- Backfiltration generally cannot be avoided in high-flux dialysis and
may occur along a significant portion of the dialyzer length.
