The reported work is on the preparation and characterization of polyvinyl alcohol -g- Polyacrylic acid (PVA-g-PAA)/ Polybenzimidazole sulfone (PBIs) cation exchange membrane used for the electro dialysis of sodium chloride solution. The polymer syrup has been prepared using the grafting method with the help of polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylic acid in the presence of water solvent. The polymer ...

Background: Conventional Heparin and Tri-sodium citrate 4% are used for locking double lumen catheter after dialysis to prevent line thrombosis. Objectives: To compare the thrombosis use of heparin tri-sodium 4%. Methodology: Randomized controlled trial study involving patient who develop from February 2020 August 2020. The was done on a group 200 patients had poor blood flow in during dialysis...

This study compared the ability of telavancin to the ability of cefazolin and vancomycin to eliminate staphylococci from peritoneal dialysis fluid by using a static in vitro model to simulate the conditions of peritoneal dialysis. The results showed that telavancin exhibited statistically significantly better kill (P < 0.05) against both methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant Staphyl...

The management of acute renal failure in the critically ill patient is extremely variable and there are no published standards for the provision of renal replacement therapy in this population. Continuous renal replacement therapy seems to be the treatment of choice because of its superior metabolic and hemodynamic control. There is better organ protection by continuous treatment but no evidenc...

BACKGROUND Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) is strongly recommended for adults with an increased risk of bleeding complications. The objective of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate an RCA protocol concerning feasibility and safety in intermittent high-flux haemodialysis (iHD) treatment in children and adolescents. METHODS Eighteen children and adolescents aged 5-17 years (media...

urea, it is rational to assume backdiffusion of such The range of dialysis treatment schedules is rapidly toxic solutes along the nephron similar to that of urea increasing, with renewed interest in daily haemodialysis [3], and hence reasonable to choose Kr as the renal (HD), continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis function reference standard for assessing the dose (CAPD), automated peritonea...

Dialysis relies upon the transfer of waste products and electrolytes across a semi-permeable membrane contained in the dialyser facilitated by the dialysis fluid, a fast-flowing electrolyte solution prepared continuously by the mixing of treated water with a concentrated electrolyte solution. Both the water, the buffer and electrolyte composition play important roles in modulating complications...
