What is the kuf range for high-efficiency dialyzers?

High-efficiency dialyzers are designed to effectively remove solutes from the blood during hemodialysis, and their performance is often measured by the clearance values expressed in terms of the "kuf" range, which refers to the ultrafiltration coefficient. The correct range for high-efficiency dialyzers is typically between 5.0-12.0. This indicates a significant ability to remove excess fluids while also achieving the desired solute clearance levels, which is essential in managing the patient’s overall fluid balance and improving treatment outcomes.

This kinematic parameter reflects the dialyzer's ability to facilitate adequate ultrafiltration, ensuring that patients undergoing hemodialysis receive effective treatment for their condition. This aspect is vital in ensuring that all patients maintain optimal fluid levels in their bodies, especially considering the risks of fluid overload in individuals with renal insufficiency.
