ACNE VULGARIS
aborashyd83In acne, the sebaceous glands become blocked and inflamed, leading to pimples on the face, back, and chest. Acne most commonly affects teenagers but can occur at any age. Teenage…
DIALYSIS WATER QUALITY CONTROL
Importance of water quality The chemical and microbiological contamination of dialysis fluids are serious problems in haemodialysis therapy and one of the cause might be the water used for the…
TYPES OF DIALYZER MEMBRANE MATERIALS
PSF MEMBRANEShave the capacity to remove a broad range of uremic toxins, effectively retain endotoxins, and, provide intrinsic biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity.In addition to its higher sieving capability, increased hydraulic…
SOLUTE REMOVAL IN HEMODIALYSIS
Solute removal in hemodialysis occurs through a combination of diffusion, convection, and adsorption.The uremic solutes removed by hemodialysis are divided into three main categoriesSmall water soluble compounds such as urea…
DIALYZER MEMBRANE PERFORMANCE
Membrane performance, as determined by the effectiveness of solute clearance and biocompatibility, is of greatest concern when choosing a dialyzer. Technological advances in membrane design, chemical composition, and sterilization methods…
INTERPRETATION OF DIALYZER SPECIFICATION
Priming volume: Is how much blood needs to fill dialyzer capillaries, it consider as dead blood volume. it is varies among dialyzers, as a role of thumb, more priming volume,…
INFLUENCE OF DESIGN ON MEMBRANE PERFORMANCE
Symmetric Membrane fibers Symmetric membranes, which can be derived either from cellulose or entirely from synthetic polymers, have a homogeneous configuration throughout the membrane wall, with both the inner and…
DIALYZER AND HEMODIALYSIS PRESCRIPTION
As described by Daugirdas, many excellent nephrologists follow an empiric model when devising the hemodialysis prescription:place patients on the largest dialyzer that they can afford,dialyze them for the longest amount…

FACTORS AFFECT DRUG DIALYZABILITY
The extent to which a drug is affected by dialysis is determined primarily by several physicochemical characteristics of the drug, which are briefly described in the text that follows.These include…
