Selectively mixed matrix hemodialysis membrane for adequate clearance of p-cresol by the incorporation of imprinted zeolite

Abstract The adequacy in uremic toxin removal upon hemodialysis treatment is essential in patients with kidney failure diseases as poor removal leads to heart failure, hypertension, and stroke. The combination of adsorption and diffusion processes has become very advantageous for hemodialysis membranes. By this mechanism, water-soluble uremic toxins (WSUTs) and protein-bounded uremic toxins (PBUTs) could be removed at one time. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a novel imprinted zeolite by p-cresol (IZC) and then incorporated it into polyethersulfone (PES) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) to produce hollow fiber mixed matrix membrane (HF-MMM). The IZC proved to be sensitive in attracting the adsorbate, classifying it as having a strong adsorption behavior.

Flu yang Bukan Covid-19 pun, Bisa Fatal bagi Penderita dengan Cuci Darah Regular

 Rumah Ginjal - Bagi orang sehat, datangnya musim flu tidaklah menjadi hal utama dibandingkan dengan kelompok rentan. Namun bukan berarti hal itu tidak berisiko fatal. Coba jika kondisi tubuh mengalami kelelahan hebat, kan bisa berakibat fatal.  Maka dari itu memperhatikan disiplin pola hidup sehat secara umum tetap berlaku pada siapa saja, kapan saja dan dimana saja, apalagi kondisi pandemik saat ini. Namun dalam kesempatan ini, bahasan berikut ini ditekankan pada kelompok rentan dengan penyakit gagal ginjal yang menjalani dialisis regular.  Studi baru yang disitir oleh Ankur Banerjee 22 februari 2019 di harian Reuters, dikatakan bahwa angka kematian meningkat untuk pasien yang menjalani dialisis ketika musim influenza menyebar di masyarakat. Di AS, peningkatan angka tersebut tidak tanggung-tanggung dalam satu tahun rata-rata, infeksi saluran nafas akut yang parah ditaksir berkontribusi lebih dari seribu kematian di antara orang-orang dengan gagal ginjal stadium akhir. Dave Gilbertson dari Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation di Minnesota menaksir bahwa hal tersebut sangat terkait erat dengan musim sebangsa flu. Berdasarkan data dari Pusat Pengendalian dan Pencegahan Penyakit A.S.

Preparation and characterization of imprinted zeolite-Y for p-cresol removal in haemodialysis

Rumah Ginjal - In this work, the novel imprinted zeolite (IZ) was synthesized, and its properties and performance in terms of adsorption of p-Cresol, which represent the protein-bounded uremic toxins in aqueous phase under phosphate buffer saline, were studied and compared with the synthesized zeolite-Y (ZeoY-S) and commercial CBV 100 zeolite-Y (ZeoY-C).The ZeoY-S was synthesized from sodium aluminate, NaOH, H2O and SiO2 under aging for 24 h at room temperature and hydrothermal condition for 24 h at 100 °C, with an initial composition of 10SiO2:Al2O3:4Na2O:180H2O.

Incorporation Of Imprinted-Zeolite To Polyethersulfone/Cellulose Acetate Membrane For Creatinine Removal In Hemodialysis Treatment

Abstract Polyethersulfon (PES) membrane has been widely used in the biomedical field especially in hemodialysis application. Many modifications of membranes have been applied into hemodialysis such as diffusion, adsorption, and mixed-matrix membrane. The main problem of those membranes is less selectivity to attract the uremic toxins. In this study, we report the modification of PES mixed with cellulose acetate (PES/CA) membrane as mixed-matrix membrane (MMM) using imprinted-zeolite (PES/CA/IZC) in order to increase the selectivity for targeted analyte. The hollow fibre membranes (HFM) were fabricated by dry-wet spinning technique.

[Tanya Dokter] Cuci Darah hanya melalui mesin?

[Rumah Ginjal: Tanya-Jawab] Apakah cuci darah itu hanya melalui mesin cuci darah saja? Dokter : Tidak. Untuk membuang racun yang menumpuk di dalam darah akibat dari kerusakan ginjal, dapat dilakukan dengan 2 cara, yaitu menggunakan mesin yang disebut dengan Hemodialisa, dan yang menggunakan cairan yang dimasukan lewat selang ke dalam perut yang disebut dengan Peritoneal Dialisa.
