Can I ask you that during my dialysis, after a while they (the nurse or technician) always increase the UFR, and I figure out will be higher than the CMS guideline 13/ml/kg/hr, sometimes even 18/ml/kg/hr. I am afraid that Myocardial stunning could be happened. Kindly pls advise. TKS again.

They may be running a profile program where it can be programmed to remove most fluid in first half, less in last half or vice-versa. Dò you gain much fluid between treatments? Have you asked the techs/nurses?
