Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Dialysis membrane materials are the key factor influencing clinical outcome of hemodialysis.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the biocompatibility of hemodialysis membrane materials for severe acute pancreatitis.
METHODS: A computer retrieval of articles published 1994-06/2011-02 was performed using the keywords of “hemodialysis, dialysis membrane materials, histocompatibility, blood compatibility, polyethersulfone” in Chinese and English. Repetitive studies or Meta analysis were excluded, and finally 25 articles addressing performance and application of polyethersulfone membrane filtering material were included.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Continuous blood purification has a certain effect on multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, especially on acute renal failure. As a result, it can improve the prognosis of severe acute pancreatitis and becomes an important treatment for severe acute pancreatitis. Hemodialysis membranes are various. Polyethersulfone membrane filters are widely used, which have a good biocompatibility with the host. The sealing effect is good, and due to lower cost, it is widely used in clinic.
