Prevention of Lethal Osmotic Injury to Cells During Addition and Removal of Cryoprotective Agents: Theory and Technology

“…It can remove CPAs efficiently; however, due to the non-uniformity of distribution of hollow fibers, the mass transport in dialyzer is too complicated to be controlled, especially in the unsteady state. In addition, dialysis method is not efficient to remove large molecular substances (Daugirdas, et al, 2006), such as cell fragment and the released protein from broken cells. These factors limit the use of dialysis method in some applications.…”

“…In clinic, hemofiltration, which involves dilution and filtration to remove toxins from blood, has been proved to have better controllability as well as ability of removing large molecular substances than hemodialysis (Daugirdas, et al, 2006). By referencing to hemofiltration, a dilution-filtration system is developed recently for removing CPAs (Zhou et al, 2011).…”

The Effect of Dialytic Modalities on Clinical Outcomes in ESRD Patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever

“…[9] Protein loss via peritoneum is seen most frequently in especially PD patients with H or HA peritoneal solute transport characteristics, and this dialysis modality is less successful in such patients. [9] Renal failure due to amyloidosis is the most serious and important complication of FMF.…”

“…[9] Protein loss via peritoneum is seen most frequently in especially PD patients with H or HA peritoneal solute transport characteristics, and this dialysis modality is less successful in such patients. [9] Renal failure due to amyloidosis is the most serious and important complication of FMF. All renal replacement modalities have some disadvantages, and there is no consensus about the choice of the renal replacement treatment when end stage renal failure develops in this group of patients.…”

Systemic conditions, oral findings and dental management of chronic renal failure patients: general considerations and case report

“…Changes in bone metabolism are common and caused mainly by secondary hyperparathyroidism (8), which, in turn, results from a high phosphorus serum level (due to decreased renal clearance) and low serum calcium and calcitriol levels (due to decreased hydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 in the kidneys) (8). These alterations can occur concomitantly and lead to bone resorption and osteitis fibrosa (2,5,7).…”
