Dialysis techniques: hemoperfusion

  • Chapter
Replacement of Renal Function by Dialysis

Abstract

Since the early 1960s sorbents have been used in an attempt to increase the efficiency of dialysis, or replace it, in the management of uremia. Recent evidence on new sorbents for hemoperfusion suggests they will be valuable additions to hemodialysis. Additionally hemoperfusion has been used to treat drug and chemical intoxication as well as fulminant hepatic encephalopathy. Sorbent regeneration of dialysate is accepted in the clinical management of end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
