Anti-Inflammatory Approach in Chronic Dialysis Patients with SARS-CoV-2: ATA or PMMA Dialyzers?

Introduction: High-flux hemodialysis membranes may modulate the cytokine storm of SARS-CoV-2, but their impact on chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients is unknown. The aim of the study was the evaluation of asymmetric cellulose triacetate (ATA) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) dialyzers on inflammatory markers and clinical outcomes in CHD patients with SARS-CoV-2.

Methods: A prospective, observational study on CHD patients with SARS-CoV-2 was carried out.
