Official Title: Prospective Study of Micro-CT Imaging to Quantify Dialyzer Clotting in Patients With End Stage Kidney Disease Undergoing Hemodialysis
Brief Summary:
Different cross-over studies have been performed investigating dialyzer fiber patency in different dialysis setups.Herewith, post dialysis micro computed tomography (CT) images of the dialyzer were compared.For the best interpretation of such results, one should have an idea about the intrapatient variability.There is also no clue about the impact of long distance transportation and long cold storage on the reproducibility of the micro CT images.Another bottle neck is that, up till now, no biochemical parameter or…
