3. Figure 2
(A) Instantaneous blood clearance (Cl) in hemodialysis (HD) is the extraction ratio (ER) times blood flow rate (Qb) and is dependent on solute molecular weight, among other things. (B) Cl in HD is the saturation fraction of dialysate concentration (D) over the plasma concentration (P) times dialysate flow rate (Qd) and is dependent on solute molecular weight, among other things. At greater Qd, there is more turbulence, which reduces both dialysate “channeling” and boundary layer effects.

Using standard Kt/V as originally proposed by Frank Gotch, one can compare frequency and intensity of differing dialysis modalities.
