Acute haemodialysis membrane-associated reactions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 polyacrylonitrile AN69 (AN69) membrane and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.

Torque Teno Virus (TTV) Among β-Thalassemia and Haemodialysis Patients from Mazandaran Province (North of Iran)
Torque Teno virus (TTV) is a transfusion transmitted virus that seems to be involved in several complications such as acute respiratory diseases, liver diseases, AIDS, cancer, and autoimmune reactions. In the present study the frequency of TTV was investigated among β- thalassemia (BT) and haemodialysis (HD) patients (high risk patients for TTV) in Mazandaran province, Iran. DNA was ...
متن کاملHigh-flux haemodialysis treatment as treatment for carbamazepine intoxication.
Acute severe intoxication with carbamazepine is associated with seizures, coma and respiratory depression. Traditionally, charcoal haemoperfusion is used to remove the drug. We present a case of carbamazepine intoxication, successfully treated with three hours of high-flux haemodialysis. Thus, haemodialysis using high-flux membranes is a feasible and effective therapeutic option for carbamazepi...
متن کاملNew 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 کاملEffects of Biodegradable Polymers on the Rat's Damaged Spinal Cord Neural Membranes
The overall goal of this study was to identify the appropriate biomaterials able to facilitate the regeneration in rat's injured adult spinal cord. Acute damage to axons is manifested as a breach in their membranes, ionexchange distortion across the compromised region, local depolarization and even conduction block. It would be of particular importance to interrupt the progress of events h...
متن کاملDialysis filter type determines the acute effect of haemodialysis on endothelial function and oxidative stress.
BACKGROUND Endothelial function of large arteries is impaired in chronic haemodialysis patients and oxidative stress due to the dialysis procedure has been suggested as a causal factor. However, it is not clear whether different types of dialysis membranes affect endothelial function differently. Therefore we determined endothelium-dependent, flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial arter...
