A new type of dialysis membrane made from nanoporous alumina may better approximate human kidneys??? ability to remove waste products from the bloodstream than the technology currently in use.

Scientists at IIT-B have come up with a membrane to be used in dialysis that will not only cut the cost of dialysis by half, but also decrease the process time by 50 per cent. Scientists at the Indian ...

Dialysis membranes must balance two critical functions: allowing small molecules to pass through for removal while preventing the leakage of vital proteins. The team’s approach uses the unique ...

October 18, 2011 — Use of electron-beam (e-beam) sterilized dialysis membranes is linked to significant thrombocytopenia after hemodialysis, according to the results of a Canadian cohort study ...

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Aug. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Conventional hemodialysis technology lacks the ability to remove certain toxins in the blood. As a result of the inefficient clearance, certain toxic ...

In this procedure, patients are connected to a dialysis machine which acts as an artificial kidney to remove most of the urea and restore/maintain the water and ion balance of the blood. Unfiltered ...

Fresenius Medical Care (FME) receives U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance of the company's 5008X Hemodialysis System. This will enable Fresenius Medical Care to offer the industry ...

A group of researchers in the United Kingdom has developed a redox flow battery (RFB) based on aqueous organic-based electrolytes which they claim is capable of operating with remarkable stability.
