Increasing selective bilirubin removal by hypercross-linked polystyrene hemosorbents

Аннотация

A high efficiency of indirect bilirubin removal from systems modelling blood plasma by polymers of various structures and, most importantly, by hemocompatible hypercross-linked polystyrenes such as Styrosorb is demonstrated. Approaches to increasing the selectivity of hypercross-linked polystyrenes for the removal of bilirubin from biological fluids with a high serum albumin content were found, making them promising materials for the manufacture of hemosorption columns effective for hepatitis therapy and other conditions caused by a high bilirubin content in the blood plasma.
