Advances in Polysulfone-Based Membranes for Hemodialysis
Authors
Abstract:
The polysulfone-based membrane has been used in hemodialysis (HD) and it is continuously developed to maintain its sustainability on the subject of biocompatibility. During the polysulfone-based membrane development, several parameters should be considered to improve the membrane performances, such as excellent biocompatibility, appropriate ultrafiltration rate, and effective clearance of the target solute. In terms of biocompatibility, characteristics of interaction between proteins in the blood and membrane surface is a critical point of view to avoid platelet adhesion and activation that initiate the inflammatory responses. Different methods of modifications have been proposed. Most of the modification methods are focused on the increase of membrane hydrophilicity. A number of modified polysulfone-based membranes have been developed through several methods including blending materials, plasma treatment, and other surface modifications. Selectivity of the polysulfone membrane also plays an important role in avoiding endotoxin leakage and reducing albumin loss during HD treatment. On the other hand, sterilization of the HD membrane also becomes very important with regard to its effects, such as changes in physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and performances of the membranes. In this paper, the polysulfone-based membrane for HD is reviewed comprehensively. Special attention is given to the preparation, characterization and sterilization of HD membranes.

The aim of the study was to compare the effect of hemophane and polysulfone membranes on the phagocyte-derived production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as on neutrophil CD11b and CD62L expression in patients undergoing regular hemodialysis. The effects of hemodialysis membranes were also studied in in vitro conditions after coincubating them with differentiated HL-60 cells. ROS produ...

Sulfonated polysulfone (SPSU) with high ion exchange capacity (IEC) and ion conductivity was synthesized through deep sulfonation of polysulfone using the trimethysilyl chlorosulfonate as sulfonation agent. The silicon-containing compounds formed during the synthesis of SPSU were completely removed from the SPSU by simple evaporation. Water swelling, ion exchange capacity, conductivity and fuel...
