    Clinical significance of blood-device interaction in hemodialysis

    No full text
    The syndrome of dialysis-associated leukopenia and complement activation by cellulosic membranes, including the so-called "first use syndrome", is reviewed and the pathophysiology of these phenomena is discussed. Subsequently the clinical side effects of hemodialysis, including dialysis-associated hypoxemia, are discussed. The hypoxemia, according to the authors, is mainly related to the loss of carbon dioxide through the dialyser. A minor role may be played by complement activation causing temporary sequestration of leukocytes in the pulmonary capillaries with (asymptomatic) peripheral leukopenia on the one hand and plugging of the pulmonary capillary bed with transient pulmonary hypertension and hypoxemia on the other. The question of dialysis-associated eosinophilia and ethylene oxide hypersensitivity is addressed as also contributing to the first use syndrome. The effects of interleukin release from monocytes and of contamination of the dialysis fluid are briefly discussed. The rare syndrome of silicone rubber spallation with hepato-and splenomegaly is also mentioned and finally the pathogenesis and symptomatology of the beta 2 microglobulin amyloidosis syndrome in long-term dialysis patients is presented.Journal ArticleReviewinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

    Passive Films On Stainless-Steels in Aqueous-Media

    The purpose of this paper is to provide a syntheses of experimental results regarding films formed on the surface of stainless steels. Such syntheses are attempted for the environments most studied. In each case the overview is presented with reference to the most important papers. Conflicting data are also presented and discussed. Based on the results of the prior studies, a four region model is proposed to describe the surface passive film and its breakdown
