Performance and Hemocompatibility of a Novel Polysulfone Dialyzer: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High-flux dialyzers effectively remove uremic toxins, are hemocompatible to minimize intradialytic humoral and cellular stimulation, and have long-term effects on patient outcomes. A new dialyzer with a modified membrane surface has been tested for performance and hemocompatibility.

Methods

This multicenter, prospective, randomized, crossover study involved the application of the new polysulfone-based FX CorAL 600 (Fresenius Medical Care, Bad Homburg, Germany), the polyarylethersulfone-based Polyflux 170H (Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Deerfield, IL), and the cellulose triacetate-based SureFlux 17UX (Nipro Medical Europe, Mechelen, Belgium), for 1 week each, to assess the noninferiority of the FX CorAL 600's removal rate of β2-microglobulin.
