Three general types of dialyzers are available at present: unmodified cellulose (low flux and so-called bio-incompatible membranes), modified/regenerated cellulose (low flux or high flux; so- called relatively biocompatible), synthetic (low flux or high flux; so called relatively biocompatible). The term {u2018}flux{u2019} refers to the permeability of the membrane in the dialyzer across which accumulated toxins and excess fluid pass during hemodialysis. A {u2018}high-flux{u2019} dialyzer has a membrane that allows middle-sized molecules to pass through but prevents the accidental removal of protein from the blood UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
