Synopsis

The membrane is the most important component of an artificial kidney and much scientific attention is given to different types of membranes and how they perform clinically. However, for commercial reasons, the structure and chemical composition of these membranes are often surrounded by myths. This publication describes a dialysis membrane in chemical, biological and clinical terms. Chapters detail the evolution of the polyamide membrane in relation to both membrane characteristics and therapeutic applications. In addition, future perspectives focus on the modified polyamide membrane as a means to help treat dialysis-related amyloidosis and other uraemic complications by removing large solutes such as beta-2 microglobulin and the new granulocyte inhibitory protein (GIP). Illustrating how membrane design and development can be tailored to meet the changing clinical needs of dialysis, this interdisciplinary volume should not only interest membrane scientists but also specialists in nephrology and internal medicine.
