  • Title: Capabilities of the Redy cartridge for regeneration of hemofiltrate.
    Author: Fuchs C, Dorn D, Rieger J, van Doorn AW, Striebel JP, Scheler F.
    Journal: Artif Organs; 1979 Aug; 3(3):279-80. PubMed ID: 533419.
    Abstract:
    Capabilities of the Redy cartridge for hemofiltrate regeneration were tested. Electrolytes, creatinine, BUN, uric acid, acid-base, glucose, heparin, fluoride and amino acids were measured in the cartridge inflow and outflow (V = 70 ml/min) over a four-hour period. There was complete adsorption of potassium, calcium, magnesium, creatinine, BUN, uric acid, phosphate and heparin. Sodium ions, hydrogen ions, fluoride ions and possibly other trace elements are released by the cartridge. Amino acid absorption is almost complete if the amino acids are aromatic, have two or more N-atoms or if they have S-atoms. When using hemofiltrate after sorbent regeneration for reinfusion to the patient, one has to consider electrolyte substitution (i.e., K, Ca, Mg), sodium balance, trace element metabolism, acid-base problems, amino-acid profiles and ammonia overload.
