Studying the Efficiency of Hollow Fiber Dialyzers Used in Hemodialysis

Abstract

his research studies the effectiveness of different dialysis units on patients with renal failure by comparing the blood constituent before and after dialysis which indicates the dialyzer efficiency. Three kinds of hollow fiber materials were used in this research, Cuprophan, hemophan and polysulfone, with three surface areas of 1.1, 1.3, and 1.6 m². Different parameters were studied, including fiber type and surface area, to evaluate the efficiency of the dialyzers under study. Polysulfone dialyzers of 1.6 m² have achieved the best results compared to other types of dialyzers.
