Solute removal by various forms of renal replacement therapy (RRT) differs from that occurring in the native kidney in several ways. Among the dialytic therapies, the relationship between clearance and mass removal rate may differ substantially. The purpose of this article is to review the various approaches that have been proposed to account for this differing relationship among the various types of RRT. Specific quantitative approaches along with clinical applications are provided.
