Volumetric-based ultrafiltration:
- Ultrafiltration is the process of removing fluid from the patient in a controlled fashion, during which volume is accurately measured
- Most dialysis machine use volumetric-based control, which uses a balancing chambers composed of two compartments seperated by a flexible membrane
- One side of the membrane allows fresh dialysate in, while the other allows spent or used dialysate out
