Negative electrical charges in priming fluids (chloride in 0.9% saline, citate in stored blood) and heparin combine with negatively charged dialyzer membrane (negative zeta potential) combine to increase bradykinin and nitric oxide generation by inflammatory cells. angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor reduces bradykinin breakdown to inactive peptides. ACEI, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor.
