Consequences of increasing convection onto patient care and protein removal in hemodialysis
Fig 3
Removal of five different protein compounds in mg/session, analysed following the convection volumes obtained in the different dialysis conditions.
It is observed that the variation in β-2m removal was not significantly different with HDF (slight linear increase with increasing convection volume), while the increase in removal was more evident in the higher mol wt range, being clearly exponential for albumin; albumin loss was around double when increasing from optimal convection to maximum convection HDF.
