Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Whether the biocompatibility of dialysis membrane is directly related to the quality of life and survival of hemodialysis patients is unknown.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of PolyamixTX and F7HPS two dialysis membrane for the remove of urea nitrogen and creatinine metabolic waste.
METHODS: Forty cases uremia patients undergoing routine maintenance hemodialysis were chosed from the Outpatient of Haihe Hospital of Tianjin from 2008-06 to 2011-03, and then randomly divided into F7HPS membrane group and PolyamixTX membrane group, each group of 20 cases. Urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels were compared between two groups, and the incidence of hypotension and convulsion was observed after dialysis membrane treatment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The levels of urea nitrogen and serum creatinine were both decreased significantly in the two groups after treatment as compared with those prior to treatment (P < 0.05). F7HPS had relatively good solute remove force, but 15 of 20 patients had hypotension and convulsion. In the PolyamixTX group, only 7 patients appeared with hypotension and convulsion.
