Proteomic Analysis of Serum, Outflow Dialysate and Adsorbed Protein onto Dialysis Membranes (Polysulfone and PMMA) during Hemodialysis Treatment Using SELDI-TOF-MS

Abstract

This experiment suggests that membrane adsorption is an important mechanism for the removal of middle-molecular-weight proteins by hemodialysis using not only PMMA membrane but also polysulfone membrane. Adsorption of peptide or protein onto a dialysis membrane may depend not only on the membrane material, but also on the peptide or protein.
