Detailed explanation-1: -Principles of dialysis Small waste products in your blood flow through the membrane/filter and into the dialysate. The three principles that make dialysis work are diffusion, osmosis, and ultrafiltration.
Detailed explanation-2: -Diffusion and clearance of solutes depend on factors such as blood and dialysate flow rates, the dialyzer membrane composition, and solute characteristics.
Detailed explanation-3: -In addition, dialyzers are internationally classified into three types: low-flux, high-flux, and protein-leaking.
Detailed explanation-4: -Dialyzers and Hemofilters Membranes are characterized by their biocompatibility, surface area, and pore size. Low-flux membranes have small pores (1 to 2 nm in diameter); high-flux membranes have larger pore sizes (3 to 5 nm in diameter).
