Abstract
High speed gel chromatography (HSGC) was used to observe the removal efficiency of uremic toxins from renal failure patients. It is convenient to define a hemodialysis number (FHD) to compare HSGC results in hemodialysis. Amino acid analysis was further introduced to subdivide the peaks of M. M. in HSGC, and its removal ratio was calculated for the explanation of M. M. removal efficiency.
FHD of peak “a” was influenced by the H. D. conditions in HSGC. However, FHD of clinical data such as BUN, Creat., UA, were not changed with H. D. conditions. It means that FHD of peak “a” represents the change of its conditions clearly and is available for the determination of the suitable H. D, . The peaks corresponding to M. M. were appeared on amino acid chromatogram (Fig. 2). The removal ratio of these peaks were higher by hemofiltration than by hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration.
