Vanadium transfer during haemodialysis.
The authors examined transport of vanadium (V) in 100 chronic haemodialysis (HD) patients. Serum V levels were different at the inflow and the outflow site. Vanadium was transferred from blood to dialysate through the membrane. Serum V levels decreased in the course of haemodialysis.
