... inlet line, and flow was directed from the bottom to the top; the blood compartment was prefilled and sealed. Expanded hemodialysis Flow distribution Medium cutoff Internal filtration Computed tomography imaging The evolution of hemodialysis technology has been stagnating for some...

... of membranes with enhanced sieving properties and negligible albumin loss. MCO membrane makes it possible to perform expanded hemodialysis (HDx), a technique based on high internal filtration (IF).The present study is designed to quantify IF in 2 MCO dialyzers (Theranova 400 and 500, Baxter, Deerfield, USA...

...Michio Mineshima; Isamu Ishimori; Ryoichi Sakiyama In order to improve solute removal efficiency, several types of dialyzers with enhanced internal filtration (IF) were introduced for clinical applications. In these dialyzers, enhanced IF increased convective transport of the solute in addition...

... dialysis (SLEDD). To get an idea about convective removal, internal filtration (IF) was calculated and compared to other modalities. Methods: Validated with in vivo measurements, IF was calculated for 8 h Genius® SLEDD and 4 h Genius® standard dialysis with high-flux dialyzers, and for 8 h SLEDD and 4 h...

... diffusion became evident, and purification of the dialysate has become essential even for usual hemodialysis. By using ultrapure dialysate, new blood purification methods can be performed, such as internal filtration-enhanced hemodialysis, on-line HDF, and on-line HF. As a result, various clinical effects...

...Yutaka Koda By modifying dialyzer module design, internal filtration (IF) within a dialyzer is enhanced to increase convective solute transport. Thus, it can be an alternative to hemodiafiltration with no requirement of substitution fluid or additional complex machines. Cost-effective analysis...
