|
Haemodialysis/Peritoneal dialysis is
|
|
Removal of fluids by convection
|
|
|
The removal of solutes by diffusion down a concentration gradient between blood and dialysate
|
|
|
Refers to the combination of both hemodialysis and hemofiltration
|
|
|
Combination of hemodialysis, hemofiltration, and hemodiafiltration being applied continuously for days to weeks in patients with AKI
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The blood and dialysis fluid move in opposite directions across the membrane (a counter current system ) in order to maintain concentration gradients all the way along. The clean blood is returned to the patient and the waste dialysis fluid is disposed of.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dialysate. Dialysate is a buffered electrolyte solution, usually containing glucose at or above physiologic concentration, circulated through the water compartment of a hemodialyzer to control diffusional transport of small molecules across the membranes and achieve the blood concentrations desired.
