title: AN69-ST membrane, a useful option in two cases of severe dialysis reactions.
abstract: Adverse reactions during hemodialysis (HD) sessions although infrequent can be severe. We report two cases of recurrent adverse reactions to HD biocompatible synthetic membranes. Change to AN-69 dialyzer allowed subsequent uneventful HD sessions. This may be due to the surface treated membrane, which provides greater adsorption capacity and improved biocompatibility.
