.... Endocrine disruptors/blood Phenols/blood Membranes Artificial Renal insufficiency Chronic/blood Biocompatibility Monocytes Bisphenol A (BPA) or 2,2-bis (4-hydroxyphenol) propane (C 15 H 16 O 2 ) is a chemical compound used in the polymerization of different plastics (e.g. polycarbonate (PC...

... and middle-molecular proteins was evaluated in 16 chronic dialysis patients on post-dilution HDF with two high-flux dialyzer membranes (Amembris and Polyamix). Multidimensional Protein Identification Technology (MudPIT) was employed to identify middle-molecular weight solutes in spent dialysate. Results...

... of the membrane but also to its interior. Since polymethylmethacrylate membranes have a much higher inside effective exchange surface than polysulfone membranes, these membranes are able to ensure a high level of adsorption, and therefore reduce the concentration of high-molecular-weight molecules and protein...

... beneficial effects of synthetic high flux hemodialysis membranes are probably attributed to both their solute clearance profiles as well as their biocompatibility characteristics. 30 10 2008 © 1994 S. Karger AG, Basel 1994 Copyright / Drug Dosage / Disclaimer Copyright: All rights reserved...

...John K. Leypoldt; Janice F. Gilson; Kim M. Blindauer; Alfred K. Cheung Adsorption to hemodialysis membranes was studied by determining the binding kinetics of model macromolecules, poly-disperse DEAE dextran (molecular radii 10-70 Å), to an acrylonitrile-methallyl sulfonate copolymer membrane...

... metabolism and biological function of the human blood granulocytes induced by interfacial reactions were determined by direct microcalorimetry. The polymers, which are commonly used as membranes in artificial kidneys, were found to activate granulocytes to degrees which were inversely correlated...

...M. Notohamiprodjo; K. Andrassy; J. Bommer; E. Ritz Artificial membranes used for hemodialysis differ from endogenous membranes, i.e. endothelial cells, by their variable thrombogenicity. The key step in activation of the coagulation system by dialysis membranes is thrombocyte activation which...

... eventually make feasible a continuously functioning, implantable artificial kidney. The device consists of two membranes operating in series within one device cartridge. The first membrane mimics the function of the glomerulus, while the second membrane mimics the function of the renal tubules. Findings...

Clearly, we must decrease the dangerous high levels of Hcy in different ways. Vitamin Supplementation : Vitamins B 6 , B 12 and folic acid decreased the basal level of Hcy...
