UltraFiltration - Model UF - Home Dialysis

UF is used to remove water from the body in case of fluid overload. Thus it allows to reduce the pressure within the body, especially on the heart, and to remove water that has cumulated within some organs, such as the lungs, and forms oedema there. At home, this therapy can be used alone or in addition to the others technics. In this latest case, the total volume of fluid injected is less than that removed from the patient, the difference providing the targeted removal of water.
