A new polymethylmetacrylate membrane improves the membrane adhesion of blood components and clinical efficacy

Abstract Background Hemodialysis with polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA) membrane dialyzers allows unique protein adsorption. New PMMA dialyzers should demonstrate equivalent protein adsorption, but improved hemocompatibility. Methods Platelet adhesion and activation and protein adsorption were determined...
