    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Renal Replacement Therapy

    Background:

    • Hemofiltration is an emerging technique in renal replacement therapy.
    • Current commercially available equipment for hemofiltration is limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the technical and clinical state of the art of hemofiltration.
    • To outline the nomenclature for convective solute and water removal.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature and clinical experience with hemofiltration.
    • Analysis of nomenclature for convective solute and water removal techniques.

    Main Results:

    • Hemofiltration facilitates easier achievement of salt and water balance.
    • Clinical experience indicates improved control of hypertension with hemofiltration.

    Conclusions:

    • Hemofiltration presents a promising approach to managing fluid and electrolyte balance in renal patients.
    • Further development of equipment and standardization of nomenclature are needed.
