Evaluation of the influence of the surface membrane and blood flow in medium «cut-off» (MCO) dialyzers.

CONCLUSION: The increase of the surface area from 1.7 to 2.0 m2 in the MCO dialyzer has not meant a greater depurative effectiveness. In these dialyzers the increase of Qb does not seem to be as determinant as in hemodiafiltration except for the clearance of small molecules. PMID: 31104861 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
