Recharging Red Blood Cell Surface by Hemodialysis

Recharging Red Blood Cell Surface by Hemodialysis

Background: Similar as in vascular endothelium the negatively charged glycocalyx of erythrocytes selectively buffers sodium. Loss of glycocalyx (i.e. loss of negative charges) leads to increased erythrocyte sodium sensitivity (ESS) quantified by a recently developed salt-blood-test (SBT). The hypoth...
