Details

Vonesh and Carter (1992) describe data measured on high-flux hemodialyzers to assess their in vivo ultrafiltration characteristics. The ultrafiltration rates (in mL/hr) of 20 high-flux dialyzers were measured at seven different transmembrane pressures (in dmHg). The in vitro evaluation of the dialyzers used bovine blood at flow rates of either 200~dl/min or 300~dl/min. The data, are also analyzed in Littell, Milliken, Stroup, and Wolfinger (1996).
