Abstract

PURPOSE:To selectively remove the accessory thyroid hormones accumulated in the body of a dialysis patient in particular by specifying the pore radius in an active layer adequate as the accessory thyroid hormone removing membrane to a specific range. CONSTITUTION:The effective selective removing membrane for the accessory thyroid hormones accumulated in the dialysis patient has 30-80Angstrom pore radius in the active layer. The pore radius in the active layer is determined by measuring the freezing point falling degree by the capillary condensation in the pore diameter by a differential scanning calorimety in the case of the symmetric membrane. The characteristics of the removing membrane are obtainable by adjusting the concn. of a high-polymer soln. the cooling conditions at the time of solidifying and the solvent removing rate and forming the membrane structure at the time of dissolving a high-polymer material into the solvent for the polymer and spinning the soln. into an aq. solidifying bath from an annular nozzle thereby forming permeable hollow yarn.

Various attempts have been made to improve and prevent this, including administering active vitamin D3 to promote bone formation, optimizing the calcium concentration of dialysate, dietary restrictions, and optimizing phosphorus removal during hemodialysis. However, it has not yet reached the stage where it can be said to be sufficient. Among these various attempts, parathyroid hormone has also become a topic of research, but no clear guidelines have been obtained regarding the extent of its accumulation in the body or its removal.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As a result of intensive research on parathyroid hormone, the present inventors have found that parathyroid hormone accumulates in dialysis patients within about two years after starting dialysis, and that, in particular, parathyroid hormone accumulates in dialysis patients. They found that metabolites accumulate 20 to 30 times more than in healthy individuals, and that this parathyroid hormone cannot be removed by ordinary dialysis membranes, typically cellulose membranes. It is easily assumed that abnormal accumulation of parathyroid hormone is a cause of bone disorders, and it is expected that bone disorders can be suppressed by removing this. An object of the present invention is to provide a membrane that effectively selectively removes parathyroid hormone accumulated in the body of a dialysis patient.

The DSC method, which utilizes the fact that the freezing point of water changes depending on the size of the pores, uses hollow fiber samples that have been immersed in water to remove adhering water from the inner and outer surfaces of the sample, and then remove the water from the hollow fiber sample, which has a length of about 5 to 10. Weigh the books in an airtight pan and use a differential scanning calorimeter (Perk).

Naturally, if the pore radius is too small, parathyroid hormone cannot be removed, and a pore radius of 30 mm is required. If the pore radius becomes too large, proteins useful to the living body will be removed, causing problems, so the pore radius is limited to 80. Therefore, the pore radius of the active layer suitable for use as a parathyroid hormone removal membrane is 30 to 80, preferably 30 to 55.
