CVVHD
The objective of this therapy is to provide fluid balance as well as to control azotemia and electrolyte balance through diffusion. Plasma water is removed from the patient’s blood by ultrafiltration only to the degree required to maintain fluid balance. A dialysate solution is continuously pumped through the fluid side of the filter and the concentration gradient between the filter’s blood and fluid sides causes unwanted blood solutes to diffuse into the dialysate, where they can be removed.
