Abstract
The inplantable artificial kidneys designed to treat uremic toxins in the intestinal tract have been developed. This system has been composed of two parts. The one is the hemofilter used with high permeable membranes, and the other is the intestinal tract. It is revealed experimentally that theselectivity of adsorption for many kinds of solutes in the lower alimentarytract is capable to act for renal tubules in animal. The most important thing is to develop the biocompatible hemofilters, in order to examine biocompatibility of biomaterials, C3a, β-TC, 112, elastase arerevealed that PMMA rembrane are most combatible material for developthe today.
It seems to indicate a step forward inthe development of implantable artificial kidney, if biocompatible new materials are developed.
