Current hemodialysis treatments can cause adverse effects, many of which are linked to the membranes used in the process. These issues are being addressed through new materials and technologies, making it urgent to establish minimum guidelines for evaluating such membranes. This review proposes standardizing the biological tests and variables to evaluate the performance of new membranes, aiming to replicate hemodialysis conditions closely.

Purpose: To assess platelet-rich plasma (PRP) changes in platelet and leucocyte count, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) concentration after bilateral low-load knee extensions under blood flow restriction (BFR).

Methods: The present randomised controlled trial protocol will include two groups: the intervention group, which will undergo bilateral knee extensions under BFR, and the control group, which will perform bilateral knee extensions without BFR. Participants will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio.
