Abstract
The term ‘haemofiltration’ was suggested by Burton in 19761. It describes a process of blood purification first conceived by Henderson et al. in 19672. The physical principal involved is convection where solute movement occurs with fluid flow, as illustrated in Figure 2.1. This differs from dialysis in which solute molecules pass through a semipermeable membrane into an electrolyte solution by diffusion due to concentration gradient. A comparison of clearances in haemodialysis and haemofiltration is shown in Figure 2.2 and illustrates that clearance in haemofiltration is relatively independent of solute molecular weight (up to 10 000 Da).
