Davita final exam Practice Questions and

Answers


Explain the four transport mechanisms that play a role in hemodialysis - ANSWER✔✔-● Ultrafiltration:

Fluid is pushed through a semipermeable membrane.




● Convection: Or solute drag means that solutes move with the water across the semipermeable

membrane. In this way, convection adds to the clearance achieved through diffusion as solutes are

dragged along with the ultrafiltrate.




● Diffusion: Is the movement of dissolved particles across a semipermeable membrane from the side

with the higher concentration to the side with the lower concentration. This difference in solute

concentration on each side of the membrane is called concentration gradient. The higher the

concentration gradient, the faster diffusion occurs. Once the concentration of a dissolved particle is the

same on both sides of the semipermeable membrane, diffusion stops.




● Osmosis: Is a chemical process by which dissolved chemicals will migrate from an area of high

concentration to one of low

concentration. Essentially if you dissolve something in a liquid, the dissolved compounds (called solutes)
