New insights in dialysis membrane biocompatibility: relevance of adsorption properties and heparin binding.
In the last 10 years, the concept of biocompatibility as applied to haemodialysis membranes has gained a general clinical acceptance in light of the knowledge that the clinical expression of b2-microglobulin (b2m) amyloidosis found in long-term haemodialyzed patients was governed by the characteristics of dialysis membranes. Highly permeable and biocompatible synthetic membranes interfere with ...
متن کاملSerum Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Patients with Psoriasis
Background: Controversial data concerning the elevation of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme in psoriasis are reported in the literature. In order to verify whether this abnormality exists in Iranian patients, we performed this study. Method: Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level was measured in 40 psoriatics. According to clinical forms of psoriasis, patients were further divided into th...
متن کاملStudy of Serum and Tissues Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity in Rat with Gentamicin Induced Renal Toxicity
The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) converts the inactive angiotensin I molecule to the active angiotensin II. ACE is rich in epithelium, endothelium, and neuroepithelial cells and it found largely on the brush border of intestine and kidney proximal tubules. ACE also presents in the serum. Some pulmonary and renal toxic drugs change the serum and tissue ACE contents. In this research ACE...
متن کاملThe pivotal link between ACE2 deficiency and SARS-CoV-2 infection
Angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) receptors mediate the entry into the cell of three strains of coronavirus: SARS-CoV, NL63 and SARS-CoV-2. ACE2 receptors are ubiquitous and widely expressed in the heart, vessels, gut, lung (particularly in type2 pneumocytes and macrophages), kidney, testisand brain. ACE2 is mostly bound to cell membranes and only scarcely present in the circulation in a s...
متن کاملAcute haemodialysis membrane-associated reactions.
Acute reactions to the haemodialysis membrane have been reported as early as 1975 [1]. Because their severity is usually mild, their frequency is probably widely underestimated. However, these reactions may occasionally be life-threatening [2]. The aetiological mechanisms of these reactions are multiple, the best characterized being allergy to ethylene oxide and combined exposure to the polyacr...
