Ultrafiltration is the part of the hemodialysis process where fluid is removed from the bloodstream and is often done with the sole purpose of taking fluid off when diuretics aren't doing the trick, or the kidneys have taken a hit and need relief from fluid overload. SLED is hemodialysis at a slower rate.
If a substance's concentration is. higher on the outside of the membrane and is small enough to pass through the pores, it will have a net movement from the. dialysis buffer into the sample. Water is such a small molecule that it is capable of passing through the pores of virtually all dialysis membranes. When dialyzing a high solute concentration against a dilute dialysis buffer, there will be a net movement of water (and possibly salts) into the dialysis unit through the membrane.
