Abstract
Background: With the advancement of technology, a dialysis membrane has been developed to achieve the efficient removal of beta-2 microglobulin (β2MG), which could not be removed with previous hemodialysis (HD) membranes. Recently, there has been an increase in the population of elderly chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with chronic inflammation and malnutrition. The optimal extracorporeal circulation treatment for elderly CKD patients is not certain.
Summary: We have reported the clinical advantages, such as improvements in nutritional, inflammatory, and hemodynamic conditions, of the adsorptive HD membrane for elderly HD patients. We have also reported that the use of β2MG adsorption columns improved the symptoms of dialysis-related amyloidosis and the number of bone cysts, which could not be improved by the high-flux hemodialyzer. Both the adsorptive HD membrane and β2MG adsorption columns remove uremic toxins and inflammatory cytokines via adsorption without aggravating the nutritional condition of these patients. Key Messages: We should reconsider the mechanisms of adsorption, in addition to diffusion and convection, in the extracorporeal circulation treatment of elderly HD patients.
期刊介绍:
The speed of developments in nephrology has been fueled by the promise that new findings may improve the care of patients suffering from renal disease. Participating in these rapid advances, this series has released an exceptional number of volumes that explore problems of immediate importance for clinical nephrology. Focus ranges from discussion of innovative treatment strategies to critical evaluations of investigative methodology. The value of regularly consolidating the newest findings and theories is enhanced through the inclusion of extensive bibliographies which make each volume a reference work deserving careful study.
