[0002] Hemodialysis (HD) is one of the renal replacement therapies for patients with acute and chronic renal failure.

[0003] As an important device in hemodialysis, the dialyzer is used to introduce the patient's blood into the hollow fiber membrane in the dialyzer through an extracorporeal circulation device, and then the dialysate flows outside the hollow fiber membrane, and exchanges substances through diffusion, ultrafiltration, adsorption and convection principles to remove metabolic waste in the body, maintain electrolyte and acid-base balance, and remove excess water in the body. In this process, the flow state of the dialysate plays a very important role in the removal of toxins. After the dialysate enters the shell from the dialysate inlet, since the hollow fiber membrane bundle occupies most of the space in the shell, the dialysate will flow along the area with less resistance between the dialyzer shell and the membrane bundle, and then penetrate into the periphery of the hollow fiber membrane bundle with less resistance; as the dialysis process proceeds, the dialysate begins to gradually penetrate into the central area of ​​the membrane bundle, but because the number of hollow fiber membrane bundles is large and the density is high, it is difficult for the dialysate to enter the center of the membrane bundle composed of multiple hollow fibers, which affects the removal performance of the dialyzer.
