Neff, et al. A wearable artificial glomerulus ml/min; 2) data from other hemofiltration studies;
and 3) predicted biochemical data based upon the size of the individual, expected intake
and steady state conditions. A GFR of 5 ml/min is generally adequate to sustain the chronic
renal failure patient relatively symptom free. Hemofiltration conducted 3 times a week to
yield 18 L of ultrafiltrate per treatment (or 54 L/wk) is generally adequate to sustain the end-
stage renal failure patient***, At 7. 2 T/day, one would obtain 50 L/wk; at 8. 6 L/day, one …
