The dialysis memblane in long-term hemodialysis treatment.

Recent advance of materials and design for dialyser membrane made possible to achieve high dialysis efficacy and high flux. The purpose of dialysis membrane now and in the future is to refine blood biocompatibility and to get the character to remove the special substances from the blood of uremic patients. Because of the difficulties to achieve the complete biocompatibility by artificial polymers now used, it is important for us to change the idea for invention of new dialyser material of the next generation.
