Abstract
Introduction Hemofilter clotting is a major challenge in continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH). Experts recommend keeping filtration fraction, the fraction of plasma water that is removed by ultrafiltration, below 20% or 30% to avoid clotting (1). Clotting risk is believed to markedly increase when the postfilter hematocrit (Hct) exceeds 0.4–0.5, and a filtration fraction of 30%–50% is presumably associated with an increase in the...
