In the field of membrane dialysis the results of an evaluation study for the artificial kidney-chronic uremia programme have been reported (15 contributors). Comparative clinical studies are concerned principally with the relative merits of celiulosic and polyacrylonitrile-based membranes. New membranes based on poly(vinyl alcohol) modified in various ways and on ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers have been described. The manufacture, and influence of manufacturing parameters, on the structure and function of membranes for artifical kidneys have been discussed. The use of assymmetric hollow fibre haemodialysers (polyamide, polyurethane, polyester) has been considered in some detail. ...
