is a therapy similar to hemodialysis, used to replace the function of the kidneys in the case
of renal failure. Unlike hemodialysis, hemofiltration is nearly always used in intensive care settings in
cases of acute renal failure. The therapy works by passing the patient's blood through a machine that
filters out waste products and water, and then adds replacement fluid before returning the blood to the
body. The replacement fluid maintains fluid volume in the blood and provides electrolytes.

Hemofiltration mainly differs from dialysis in the method of filtration. Both procedures use a semi-
permeable membrane to filter the blood, but hemofiltration uses convection along with diffusion, while
dialysis uses diffusion alone. Convection allows positive fluid pressure to drive water and solutes through
the filtering membrane. Diffusion is simply the random motion of particles in the blood, so larger solutes
are not filtered as quickly as smaller ones because they move more slowly.

The convection method solves the problem inherent in diffusion alone, allowing solutes of all sizes to be
filtered at a similar rate. The rate of filtration of both large and small solutes can be even more balanced
by the use ofhemofiltration and dialysis in tandem. This procedure is known as hemodiafiltration.

Intermittent filtration therapies are not currently approved by the United States regulatory agencies, and
hemodiafiltration is rarely used in outpatient care in the United States. In Europe, however, the practice is
more common, though still somewhat controversial. Recent studies have suggested that intermittent
hemodiafiltration may be a more effective therapy than dialysis, but more extensive studies, including
randomized controlled clinical trials, are required before the issue can be settled.
