Abstract
Clinical data obtained with high-flux hollow fiber hemodialyzers opera ting under the condition of zero net volume flow of filtrate are analy zed theoretically to obtain information about the profile of the radia l volume flow density, the concentration of an impermeable solute alon g the axis of the hollow fibers, and the extent of retrofiltration. Th is information is of practical interest. The clinical data refer to di alyzers differing only in the diameter of the hollow fibers.
