What is the difference between hemofiltration and dialysis?

Here are some...: Both are renal replacement therapy. But hemofiltration is usually used in intensive care setting for acute kidney injury hoping to have a recovery, after which patients can get rid of it. In contrast, dialysis (hemodialysis) is chiefly used in an outpatient setting for patients with chronic kidney disease, who are waiting for a renal transplant or as the permanent renal replacement therapy.
