摘要：

This study was undertaken to clarify the role of Limulus amebocyte lysate reactive material (LAL-RM) in the activation of complement in patients during hemodialysis with cuprophan membranes. The authors measured LAL-RM and completement C3a levels predialysis and at 15 and 60 minutes of dialysis in 16 patients dialyzed for 8 weeks on cuprophan membranes and then for a succeeding 8 weeks on cellulose acetate membranes. The LAL-RM and C3a levels rose significantly in the 16 patients while on dialysis with cuprophan membranes, but there was no correlation between the LAL-RM and C3a levels.
