- Title
Endotoxemia in febrile reactions during hemodialysis.
- Authors
Raij, Leopoldo; Shapiro, Fred L.; Michael, Alfred F.
- Abstract
Endotoxin was detected in the plasma in 20 of 33 (63%) patients during at least one dialysis-related febrile episode not associated with positive blood cultures. It was always present in the dialysate. In two of six Kiil-type dialyzers perfused in vitro, endotoxin could be demonstrated to pass from the dialysate to the blood compartment. Alterations in pore size of the membrane could explain these observations.
