Table 1 Multidimensional characteristics of the membranes
From: Nomenclature for renal replacement therapy in acute kidney injury: basic principles
Multidimensional characteristic | Symbol | Formula |
|---|---|---|
Surface area | A | A = 2 ⋅ N f ⋅ L ⋅ π ⋅ r − i |
Filter priming volume | V b F | V b F = N f ⋅ L ⋅ π r − i 2 |
Total priming volume | V b TOT | V b TOT = V b F V b TOT + volume of tubes |
Membrane porosity | ρ | ρ = N p ⋅ π ⋅ r − p 2 |
