Comparison of biochemical data in dialysis patients treated with low- or high-flux PS and low- or high-flux PMMA membranes
| Polysulphone low | Polysulphone high | PMMA low | PMMA high | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leucocytes (103/μl) | 8.90 ± 1.16 | 8.56 ± 0.41 | 7.90 ± 0.38 | 7.74 ± 0.36 |
| Thrombocytes (103/μl) | 250 ± 5.2 | 243 ± 12.0 | 204 ± 11.0 | 212 ± 14.0 |
| Ferritin (μg/l) | 485 ± 17.0 | 379 ± 38.0 | 354 ± 34.0 | 390 ± 41.0 |
| CRP (mg/dl) | 3.16 ± 0.26 | 3.02 ± 0.55 | 1.85 ± 0.31 | 2.38 ± 0.54 |
| Haemoglobin (g/dl) | 11.0 ± 0.08 | 11.2 ± 0.19 | 11.7 ± 0.22 | 11.6 ± 0.20 |
| Transferrin (mg/dl) | 147 ± 3.0 | 182 ± 45.0 | 173 ± 6.4 | 175 ± 8.1 |
| Total protein (g/dl) | 70.2 ± 0.37 | 71.1 ± 1.0 | 7.04 ± 1.0 | 6.85 ± 1.1 |
| Creatinine (mg/dl) | 6.95 ± 0.13 | 6.86 ± 0.43 | 7.46 ± 0.38 | 7.90 ± 0.45 |
| Uric acid (mg/dl) | 6.82 ± 0.10 | 6.98 ± 0.27 | 7.41 ± 0.24 | 7.43 ± 0.25 |
All values are mean ± SEM. No significant difference was found between low- and high-flux-treated patients with the same membrane.
