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.
Sorry, I am not as yet on dialysis and don't know anything about your requested information. but i s ee ou had a areply from t he system administrtator that suggested you speak with your doctor. best of luck on your dialysis journey.
