Formulas used to evaluate fluxes

Q_i = Q_b x (1-Ht), Q_o = Q_i

M_i = Q_i x Ci

M_o = Q_o x C_o

M_uf = Q_uf x C_uf

M_tr = M_i - M_o

C = Ci x Q_i/(Q_i + RF)

SC = 2 × C_uf/(C + C_o)

Ci Concentration in inlet plasma before addition of replacement fluid (ng/mL)

C _o Concentration in outlet plasma (ng/mL)

C _uf Concentration in ultrafiltrate (ng/mL)

C Concentration in inlet plasma after addition of replacement fluid (ng/mL)

Q _b Inlet blood flow rate (mL/min)

Q _i Inlet plasma flow rate (mL/min)

Q _o Outlet plasma flow rate (mL/min)

Q _uf Ultrafiltration flow rate (mL/min)

M _i Mass inlet rate (ng/min)

M _o Mass outlet rate (ng/min)

M _uf Mass ultrafiltration rate (ng/min)

M _tr Total mass removal rate (ng/min)

RF Replacement fluid flow rate (mL/min)

SC Sieving coefficient
