Effect of Coagulation factor with various hemodialysis membranes

Abstract

The blood was withdrawn from the antebrachial vein of healthy persons and passed through the minimodules of EVAL, PS and PAN membranes and a minimodule containing no membrane, at the same time. Examination of the blood which had passed through the minimodules revealed that the Cuprophan membrane activates the intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation factors, the PS and PAN membranes activate the blood coagulation due to activated platelet factors, and EVAL membranes provoke less activation of coagulation factors than the other membranes.
