A renal replacement therapy that removes fluid and solutes by convection — the basis of continuous therapies in the ICU.
Hemofiltration uses a pressure gradient to push water and solutes through a highly permeable membrane, replacing the lost volume with substitution fluid. In CVVH it runs continuously in ICU patients with AKI and hemodynamic instability, where intermittent HD is poorly tolerated.
A medical procedure that filters waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood using a dialysis machine when the kidneys can no longer perform this function adequately.
An advanced dialysis modality combining hemodialysis (diffusion) with hemofiltration (convection) to enhance clearance of both small and middle molecular weight solutes.
A sudden drop in kidney function over hours to days - reversible if caught early, but a major risk factor for chronic kidney disease.
Slow, continuous kidney replacement for critically ill ICU patients — gentler than intermittent hemodialysis.
