Use of a predictive model of HD/HDF based on a cascade of communicating CSTs to design modules with enhanced HMW solute clearance Original Research Article

In this paper, a predictive model for hemodialysis/hemodiafiltration is used to design for the treatment of uremic patients membrane modules more efficient than commercial hemodialysers. Fractionation of the available membrane area into modules alternatively operated in internal and back filtration mode successfully enhanced HMW solute clearance as compared to classical dialysis.
