Ultrafiltration readings

[Grandodo]

Can anyone explain why my ultrafiltration figures from my machine can vary from minus 10 to minus 340

Ultrafiltration is the removal of fluid volume from a patient. Ultrafiltration (fluid removal) is one of the functions of the kidney and the hemodialysis machine. The other function that a hemodialyis machine is capable of is to perform dialysis (cleaning) of the blood in order to remove the toxins and built up wastes from the body. Ultrafiltration rate would be a positive number. I would strongly suggest speaking with your dialysis team to learn more about what the number you are seeing means.
