The Influence of Colloid Osmotic Pressure on Hydrostatic Pressures in High ‐ and Low‐Flux Hemodialyzers
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between hydrostatic trans‐membrane pressure (TMPh) and colloid osmotic pressure (COP) in low‐flux (LF) and high‐flux (HF) dialyzers. Hydrostatic pressures were measured in dialyzers distinguished by their ultrafiltration coefficient Kuf (16 and 85 mL/h/mm Hg) under constant dialysate flow and variable blood flow (Qb) ranging from 0 to 400 mL/min using (i) alginate (70 kDa) dissolved in dialysate, (ii) diluted, undiluted, and concentrated plasma, or (iii) whole blood at different hematocrit, all in absence of ultrafiltration (UF). For a given fluid, TMPh l...
