Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Hemoperfusion and Hemofiltration

143
Hemoperfusion and hemofiltration are critical techniques in medical treatments to eliminate accumulated drugs, metabolites, and electrolytes from the bloodstream. These methods are particularly vital in cases of accidental poisoning and drug overdose.Hemoperfusion involves passing blood through an adsorbent material to remove unwanted substances. The main adsorbents used in hemoperfusion include activated charcoal and Amberlite resins. Activated charcoal can adsorb both polar and nonpolar...

Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

125
Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) is an essential intervention for patients experiencing severe kidney dysfunction. This therapy offers a continuous mechanism for removing fluids and toxins from the bloodstream, leveraging the patient’s blood pressure to facilitate filtration through a specialized filter. This method contrasts with intermittent dialysis, providing a gentler and more consistent removal of waste products and excess fluid, which is particularly beneficial in...

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

637
Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy, also known as CRRT, is a procedural treatment for acute kidney injury (AKI) that gradually removes uremic toxins and fluids while maintaining acid-base balance and stabilizing electrolytes. It is particularly useful for hemodynamically unstable patients. Unlike intermittent hemodialysis, which is faster, CRRT provides a gentler approach over 24 hours, closely mimicking the function of natural kidneys. However, CRRT is not ideal for patients with...

Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Peritoneal Dialysis and Hemodialysis

303
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or those experiencing drug overdose often require extracorporeal methods to eliminate accumulated drugs and metabolites. Hemoperfusion, hemofiltration, and dialysis are the primary techniques to rapidly remove harmful substances without disrupting the patient's fluid and electrolyte balance. For those with compromised renal function, dosage adjustments of concurrent medications may be necessary during extracorporeal drug removal.Dialysis is a process...

Hemodialysis II: Procedure and Complications

489
DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...

Dialysis01:15

Dialysis

1.5K
Dialysis is a diffusion-based purification process that separates analyte molecules from a complex matrix. This is accomplished by allowing molecules in the solution to pass through a semipermeable membrane into a liquid on the other side. The membrane is usually made of cellulose acetate or cellulose nitrate, and the second liquid must be miscible with the solution. Ions (e.g., chloride or sodium) or organic molecules (e.g., glucose) can pass through the membrane pores, which generally have...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Nephrology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Convection-based renal replacement therapies (RRTs) show promise for better patient outcomes than diffusion-based hemodialysis (HD).
  • However, current convective RRTs face limitations in clearance rates due to fundamental filtration restrictions.
  • There is a need for advanced RRT technologies that can achieve higher clearance rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and characterize multipoint dilution hemofiltration (MPD-HF), a novel purely convective blood purification technology.
  • To demonstrate that MPD-HF can overcome the filtration limits of conventional convective RRTs.
  • To achieve clearance rates comparable to hemodialysis.

Main Methods:

  • MPD-HF utilizes hollow fibers where filtration and substitution fluid infusion occur along the fiber length.
  • Multiple filtration and dilution steps are integrated within a single blood pass.
  • In vitro testing was conducted to evaluate the performance of the MPD-HF system.

Main Results:

  • MPD-HF achieved an average steady-state filtrate fraction of 68% in vitro.
  • This filtrate fraction is approximately three times higher than that of commercial hemodiafiltration (HDF) cartridges.
  • The technology demonstrated clearance of molecules up to 66 kDa, including albumin.

Conclusions:

  • MPD-HF represents a significant advancement in convective RRT, effectively removing the filtration limit.
  • The technology achieves clearance rates on par with hemodialysis, offering enhanced toxin removal.
  • MPD-HF has the potential to improve patient outcomes in renal replacement therapy.
