Abstract

Trace elements in blood serum is significantly changed in hemodialysed patients. The result of our experiment showed the manner and directions of the evaluated trace elements -Sr, Zn, Ni, Ba, B, Si, Mn and Cu movements. It was confirmed that reverse osmosis is efficient in the most tracers elimination, except Si, B, and Cu. The trace elements being present in the whole arrangement diffuse easily through the dialysers membrane used in our experiment, except Ni. In the membrane of the new, non-rinsed dialyser we detected Pb, Fe, V, Be, Ti and Al. It could possibly be the source of their contamination into the human organism. ICP-AES method of trace elements analysis reveals the possibilities of precisely, fast and simultaneous evaluation of big number various trace elements.
