Abstract
In this study data obtained in an in vitro hemodialysis model are related to various parameters measured in patients' plasma during hemodialysis in a clinical crossover study. In vitro, blood from healthy volunteers was dialyzed under standardized conditions using the capillaries Fresenius MTS C (Cuprophane) and Hospal AN 69 (Polyacrylonitrile). Following dialysis, surface bound proteins were eluted with saline, 1 M Tris and 2% SDS, and analyzed by immunoblotting. Depending on the capillary, different protein patterns could be identified in the eluates. Intact forms of adhesion proteins were predominantly (fibrinogen) or exclusively (vitronectin) found in PA eluates. In contrast, low molecular weight products of fibrinogen as well as high molecular weight components containing antithrombin III (AT III) were present in CP eluates. Their presence may reflect fibrinolytic and procoagulatory activity during dialysis with CP capillaries. A microscopic investigation of CP membranes demonstrated fibrin lined platelet conglomerates. In the plasmas of patients dialyzed with CP capillaries high D-Dimer concentrations were found. We also noticed that during dialysis with PA membranes less heparin was consumed than during dialysis with CP ...Continue Reading
