Exfiltration is the gradual leakage of fluid through any industrial equipment, a membrane or a wall because of small opening. Exfiltration occurs when a small opening allows fluid to drain from within an assembly. The gradual deposition of leaking fluid can cause corrosion in metal structures such as boilers, heat exchangers, storage tanks and other types of equipment and machinery. Exfiltration is also known as weep.
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.
