  • Title: Removal of chelated aluminium during haemodialysis using polysulphone high-flux dialysers.
    Author: Aarseth HP, Ganss R.
    Journal: Nephrol Dial Transplant; 1990; 5(11):942-4. PubMed ID: 2127830.
    Abstract:
    Polysulphone high-flux dialysers were used for removal of chelated aluminium in desferrioxamine-treated patients on maintenance haemodialysis. When compared with charcoal haemoperfusion in series with a cuprophane dialyser, the same aluminium clearance was obtained (34% of blood flow). During 4 h of haemodialysis serum aluminium was reduced to the concentration seen before desferrioxamine infusion. We conclude that high-flux polysulphone dialysers remove chelated aluminium as efficiently as does charcoal haemoperfusion, and at a lower cost.
