Abstract
<p class="first" id="d1500918e77">Hemodialysis using high flux membranes today is
a commonly used therapy. The primary
advantage is the larger spectrum of molecules removed with these membranes, and the
mechanism of removal is in part due to a phenomenon of filtration and backfiltration
along the length of the hollow fibers. We hypothesized that increasing the filtration
and backfiltration fluxes by modifying the structure of the dialyzer could enhance
the convective transport of various solutes.
