| Research Abstract |
Protein-bound uremic toxins (PBTx) are not efficiently removed by conventional hemodialysis techniques. In order to enhance the removal of protein-bound toxins, we performed an in vitro study to evaluate the effects of dilution and pH change on the dissociation of protein-bound toxins from albumin (Alb). As a result, PBTx dissociation from albumin was promoted by dilution and high level of NaCl aqueous solution, however it was insufficient to improve the removal ability of the present method. Removal of Alb combined with PBTx is may be effective in PBTx efficient removal compared to conventional hemodialysis.
