Cellulose Triacetate Dialyzer in Hemodiafiltration-online

In post-dilution haemodiafiltration only synthetic membranes have been used to date. The allergy problems described with these membranes require the development of other membranes capable of performing this treatment. We describe in vivo performance and behaviour of an asymmetric cellulose triacetate(ATA™) membrane, to identify its depurative effectiveness and ease of use in clinical practice, as well as evaluate its biocompatibility in a single haemodialysis session (acute biocompatibility) and after one month of treatment (chronic).
