摘要:
Dialysis solutions comprising aqueous solutions including physiologically acceptable salts and a polyglycol osmotic agent are disclosed. The subject solutions provide an improved osmotic gradient resulting in reduced dialysis times and/or reduced volumes of required dialysis solution. Moreover, the subject osmotic agents do not significantly migrate into the patient's blood over the time period of dialysis nor are the subject osmotic agents as susceptible to forming detrimental degradation products during gamma sterilization. The use of free radical scavengers is also described along with the use of a filter to reduce the introduction of bacteria into the peritoneal cavity.
摘要:
A polymeric resin is disclosed in the form of beads or particles having a coating thereon which renders the resin blood compatible. The resin comprises divinylbenzene monomer which has a porosity, pore size, and surface area suitable for absorption of unhealthy components of blood, such as β-2-microglobulin.
