Dialysis filter showdown: which one spares your cells?

NCT ID NCT07265635

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two types of dialysis filters in 30 kidney patients to see which one causes less damage to white blood cells and reduces inflammation. One filter is made of a special material called PMMA that may remove more harmful substances. The goal is to understand how different filters affect the body's immune system and stress response.
