Abstract

The accumulation of protein-bound uremic toxins and medium-large molecule toxins in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients is one of the causes of long-term dialysis-related complications. Hemoperfusion can remove these uremic toxins and reduce the complications of MHD patients. Upon a review of the Chinese and international literature, combined with practical experience of clinical diagnosis and treatment, the Shanghai Medical Association Society of Nephrology reached a consensus on the clinical applications of hemoperfusion in MHD patients. This consensus included four aspects: selection of appropriate patients, treatment frequency, treatment methods, and adverse reactions and precautions and provided guidelines for the rational and standardized treatment of hemoperfusion in MHD patients.
