[ Summary ] |
Prevention is very important because drug treatment of dialysis amyloidosis is very difficult at the present time. We think it is important to reduce beta2-microglobulin and improve uremic states for prevention. Dialysis dose, the use of biocompatible membranes and ultrapure dialysis fluids play important roles in the treatment of dialysis amyloidosis. |
