Terminology and equipment shown above reflect published data. Other types of machines may be used for a particular modality. For example, any CKRT machine with an effluent line can be used for AVVH or PIKRT with diffusive clearance. SLED, sustained low-efficiency dialysis; ED, extended dialysis; EDD, extended daily dialysis; SLED-BD, sustained low-efficiency dialysis with batched dialysate; E-HFD, extended high-flux hemodialysis; AVVH, accelerated venovenous hemofiltration; S-HDF, sustained hemodiafiltration; SLEDD-f, sustained low-efficiency daily diafiltration; PDIKRT, prolonged daily intermittent KRT; CKRT, continuous KRT; PIKRT, prolonged intermittent KRT.
