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.
Dialysis is the artificial process of eliminating waste (diffusion) and unwanted water (ultrafiltration) from the blood. Our kidneys do this naturally. Some people, however, may have failed or damaged kidneys which cannot carry out the function properly-they may need dialysis.eople whose kidneys either do not work properly or not at all experience a buildup of waste in their blood. Without dialysis the amount of waste products in the blood would increase and eventually reach levels that would cause coma and death. Dialysis is also used to rapidly remove toxins or drugs from the blood.
