Descriptor ultrafiltración
Scope note: Separación de partículas en suspensión mediante el paso a través de un filtro de poros muy finos. En la ultrafiltración la separación tiene lugar mediante transporte convectivo; en la DIÁLISIS la separación, por el contrario, depende de la difusión diferencial. La ultrafiltración ocurre de manera natural y es un procedimiento de laboratorio. La ultrafiltración artificial de la sangre es conocida como HEMOFILTRACIÓN o HEMODIAFILTRACIÓN (si se combina con HEMODIÁLISIS).

Scope note: The separation of particles from a suspension by passage through a filter with very fine pores. In ultrafiltration the separation is accomplished by convective transport; in DIALYSIS separation relies instead upon differential diffusion. Ultrafiltration occurs naturally and is a laboratory procedure. Artificial ultrafiltration of the blood is referred to as HEMOFILTRATION or HEMODIAFILTRATION (if combined with HEMODIALYSIS).
