Abstract | BACKGROUND: AIM: To compare OS and inflammatory status in HD-treated end stage renal disease patients with membranes of different pore size radius and flux. METHODS: 47 patients of both sexes were studied. The HD membranes with which the patients were normally treated were changed to BK-P or B-3 membranes for 6 months. Intracellular and extracellular components of the oxidant- antioxidant balance (OAB), C-reactive protein (CRP), beta2-micro-globulin (beta2mu-globulin), albumin and transferrin were measured. RESULTS: CONCLUSION: BK-P and B-3 HD membranes improved the OAB, beta2mu-globulin and CRP compared to PAN/AN69 and cellulose diacetate membranes.
