INTRODUCTION: Polysulfone (PSf) membrane has been widely used for hemodialysis. A few studies have been reported in which a method of sterilization may affect biocompatibility. In this study, the comparison was made between two PSf membranes in order to evaluate the effect of sterilization from the biocompatibility point of view. METHODS: We investigated the biocompatibility of the following two dialyzers, that is, APS-11SA (Asahi Kasei medical Co., Tokyo, Japan), sterilized by gamma-ray irradiation, and RENAK PS-1...
