Beta-2 microglobulin removal with postdilution online hemodiafiltration - comparison of three different dialysis membranes

Beta-2 microglobulin removal during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).

Beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) handling in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was characterized in acute and chronic clinical studies. Average clearance rate was 0.7 mL/min and mean mass transfer coefficient, KoA, was calculated to be 0.95 cm2/min; these values are in the range expected from extrapolation of published data for other large solutes. In chronic studies with both anuric a...

Achieving high convection volumes in postdilution online hemodiafiltration: a prospective multicenter study

Background. Available evidence suggests a reduced mortality risk for patients treated with high-volume postdilution hemodiafiltration (HDF) when compared with hemodialysis (HD) patients. As the magnitude of the convection volume depends on treatment-related factors rather than patient-related characteristics, we prospectively investigated whether a high convection volume (defined as ≥22 L/sessi...

urinary beta 2-microglobulin as a prognostic marker in children with pyelonephritis running title: beta 2-microglobulin a prognostic marker

background urinary tract infection (uti) is common in children. uti with or without vesico-ureteral reflux (vur) may result in renal scarring. severe renal scarring impairs renal function and may result in hypertension, renal insufficiency, and end stage renal disease requiring dialyses or transplantation. beta 2 micro-globulin (ß2mg) is a low molecular weight protein freely filtered by the glo...

SERUM IgE AND BETA 2 MICROGLOBULIN LEVELS AFTER MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

Serum IgE and beta 2 microglobulin levels were determined in 31 patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction and 30 patients with other forms of ischemic heart disease. The levels of these parameters were studied on the first, third and seventh day after the onset of disease. The immunological method used for the determinations was ELISA Patients with myocardial infarction showed an...
