Advances in CKD 2008 (RRI Conference, Cancun, Mexico, January, 2008).
(Slide/audio)

Vanholder: : Uremic toxins: do we know enough to explain uremia? Kotanko: How do various aspects of body composition seriously affect dialysis outcomes (more...)

Try Dr. Daugirdas' QUIZ: Solute Molecular Weight, Diffusion, Ultrafiltration, and Flux. This is the second in the Basic Dialysis Quiz Series. In fact, the first quiz should be considered a pre-requisite. What is the effect of solute molecular weight on diffusive transport? On transport by ultrafiltration? What is a high efficiency vs. a high-flux dialyzer? What are the relative transport rates for urea and beta-2-microglobulin with these dialyzers?
Note: Feedback sections of this quiz will work ONLY with internet explorer and not with Firefox.

Try Dr. Daugirdas' QUIZ: Basics of Dialyzer Function: Extraction ratio and clearance. What is the dialyzer extraction ratio (ER)? How is the ER used to derive dialyzer clearance? How do blood and dialysate flow affect the extraction ratio and clearance? What is the dialyzer mass transfer area coefficient (K₀A)? How does use of twin dialyzers in series or parallel improve extraction ratio and clearance? When does the dialyzer size matter?.?
