Renal failure therapy machines and methods including conductive and convective clearance

摘要

A renal failure therapy method includes causing therapy fluid to flow to a renal failure therapy filter, directing at least twenty-five percent of the therapy fluid to the renal failure therapy filter to perform conductive clearance, and using the renal therapy failure filter to cause at least a substantial amount of the remaining therapy fluid to perform diffusive clearance.

1. A renal failure therapy method comprising:
(a) causing therapy fluid to flow to a renal failure therapy filter; (b) restricting flow to cause the therapy fluid to be pressed through a membrane of the renal failure therapy filter into an extracorporeal circuit so that at least twenty-five percent of the therapy fluid to the renal failure therapy filter performs convective clearance; and (c) using the renal failure therapy filter to cause at least a substantial amount of the remaining therapy fluid to perform diffusive clearance.
