Q: How dialysis mode is different from filtration in renal therapy?
Answer:
Dialysis means - diffusion-based solute removal
Filtration means - convection-based solute and water removal
Dialysis is easy to understand as a solute passively diffuses via concentration gradient.
Filtration is an interesting (convection) phenomenon where the frictional forces between water and solutes, results in the transport of small and middle molecular weight solutes along with water (kind of drag on phenomenon).
