title: [Preliminary observations on activation of the alternative complement system by hemodialysis membranes (an in vitro study)].
abstract: In vitro studies showed activation by the alternate pathway of serum complement from normal subjects incubated with haemodialysis membranes. The mechanisms of such activation and its significance are discussed in the present paper.
