いる。[Prior Art] Conventionally, a heart-lung machine has been used in open heart surgery to temporarily replace the functions of the heart and lungs. An artificial heart-lung machine consists of a pump for transporting blood, an artificial lung for adding oxygen to the blood and removing carbon dioxide, and a blood circuit that connects these to the human body and forms a blood circulation route. There is.

陳代謝に十分に対応できなくなるおそれがある。 By the way, with the extracorporeal circulation of blood due to the use of a heart-lung machine, peripheral circulation may decrease, which may lead to various postoperative disorders. To prevent this, large amounts of blood transfusion are necessary to secure blood and There are problems with the occurrence of hepatitis. Therefore, a blood dilution extracorporeal circulation method is generally employed in which blood is diluted with dextran, glucose solution, gelatin solution, amino acid solution, or crystalloid or colloid such as polyvinylpyrrolidone. According to this method, the hematocrit value of blood (volume % of blood cells in blood) decreases to about 25%. (normal value 40-50%). Furthermore, during surgery, a myocardial purge solution or an ice solution for cooling the myocardium may mix into the blood, and the hematocrit value may further decrease. Even if the hematocrit value decreases like this, it is not a big problem because the oxygen intake of the body is reduced by hypothermia during surgery, but when the surgery is over and the metabolism returns to normal, the hematocrit value will decrease. If it remains low, the oxygen carrying capacity will be insufficient and there is a risk that it will not be able to adequately support metabolism.

もあつた。 Therefore, in the past, diuretics were administered to promote urination and remove excess water from the blood in the form of urine, thereby normalizing the hematocrit value.
However, such a method not only places a heavy burden on the kidneys, but also has the disadvantage that it cannot be applied to patients who do not respond well to diuretics or whose renal function has decreased. Another problem is that the use of large amounts of diuretics causes side effects such as increased potassium concentration in the blood. Another problem was that it was difficult to control the amount of water removed.

ではない。 In order to solve these problems, a hemoconcentrator using a semipermeable membrane has recently been put into practical use. The principle of a hemoconcentrator is to remove water from the blood by flowing blood through one side of a semipermeable membrane and allowing the water in the blood to permeate to the other side of the membrane. Hollow fiber membranes are used. Although membranes made of cellulose acetate are used in hemoconcentrators currently in practical use, they have the drawbacks of low water permeation rate and poor waterproofing efficiency. In addition, attempts have been made to use porous polypropylene membranes and polyvinyl alcohol membranes in hemoconcentrators, but while these membranes have a high water permeability rate, they also allow proteins in the blood to pass through them, so useful components from the blood can be removed. The disadvantage is that a large amount of information is lost. Furthermore, in JP-A-57-43748, cellulose, polyacrylonitrile,
polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate,
The use of membranes for dialysis-type or ultrafiltration-type artificial kidneys made of polyethylene or polypropylene has been proposed, but membranes for dialysis-type artificial kidneys have extremely low water permeation rates, making them impractical; Membranes for type artificial kidneys have the disadvantage that a large amount of protein permeates through them, and are not preferred as hemoconcentrators.

定し、次式により算出される値をさして言う。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention incorporates a hollow fiber membrane made of aromatic polysulfone having a dense layer on at least the inner surface, and allows blood to flow inside the hollow fiber membrane. A pressure difference is created on both sides, and this pressure difference causes water in the blood to pass through the hollow fiber membrane and drain to the outside.The amount of water discharged is measured and the pressure difference on both sides of the membrane is adjusted to concentrate the blood. A sterilized hemoconcentrator equipped with a rate control system, wherein the hollow fiber membrane has an albumin rejection rate of 95% or more and a water permeation rate of 1/m 2 .
It was constructed as a hemoconcentrator characterized by a blood flow rate of 1.0 kg/cm 2 or more. The higher the inhibition rate of albumin, the better, and preferably 99% or more. Here, the rejection rate of albumin means that an albumin-containing solution with a concentration of 5 g/dl or less is supplied to a hollow fiber membrane, and cross-flow filtration is performed at a transmembrane pressure difference of about 0.5 Kg/cm 2 .
The albumin concentration of each of the outlet liquid and permeate liquid is measured, and the value is calculated using the following formula.

×100 As is well known, the structure of the hemoconcentrator is that a large number of hollow fiber membranes are bundled and cut into a certain length, blood is flowed inside each hollow fiber membrane, and water is discharged to the outside using the pressure difference. It is configured like this.

Semipermeable membranes made of aromatic polysulfone allow water to pass through efficiently, and can form pores that are denser than ever before to block polymers such as albumin. Therefore, while retaining the properties of semipermeable membranes, A membrane with high water permeation rate can be obtained. If this semipermeable membrane is formed into a hollow fiber membrane, a hemoconcentrator with a high albumin rejection rate and a high water permeation rate can be obtained.

However, when aromatic polysulfone is used, a water permeation rate of 1/m 2 · min·Kg/cm 2 or higher can be easily obtained. Moreover, even though such a high water permeation rate is achieved, proteins hardly permeate through it. That is, a blocking rate of albumin, which has a small molecular weight among blood proteins, is 95% or more, preferably 99% or more.

なる中空繊維膜を製造することができる。 As an organic solvent for dissolving the aromatic polysulfone, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, morpholine, etc. can be used. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. The concentration of the solution is 5-35
% by weight is suitable, preferably 10-30% by weight.
When the concentration exceeds 35% by weight, the water permeability of the resulting semipermeable membrane decreases to less than 1/m 2 ·min ·Kg/cm 2 . Furthermore, if the concentration is lower than 5% by weight, a semipermeable membrane with sufficient strength cannot be obtained, so there is a risk of blood leakage. The spinning dope may be a simple solution of aromatic polysulfone, but various additives may be added to change the membrane performance. Additives include inorganic salts, polyhydric alcohols, aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acids or their esters,
Carboxylic acid amides, sulfonic acids, phosphoric acid alkyl esters, and the like can be used. More specifically, examples of inorganic salts include sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and sodium sulfate, and examples of polyhydric alcohols include polyethylene glycol. As aliphatic carboxylic acid or its ester,
Examples include formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, methyl formate, ethyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, lactic acid, and ethyl lactate. Examples of aromatic carboxylic acids include benzoic acid, salicylic acid, terephthalic acid, and trimellitic acid. I can give an example. Further, examples of the carboxylic acid amide include N-methylformamide and N-methylacetamide, examples of the sulfonic acid include benzenesulfonic acid, and examples of the phosphoric acid alkyl ester include trimethyl phosphate and triethyl phosphate. The additives can be used alone or in combination of two or more. By selecting the type and amount of these additives,
Hollow fiber membranes with different membrane properties such as water permeability and protein rejection can be produced.

As the coagulating liquid, water or a mixture of water and an organic solvent is preferably used. The spinning dope extruded from the annular nozzle may be brought into contact with the coagulating liquid immediately, or may be once extruded into the air and then brought into contact with the coagulating liquid. Further, when the coagulating liquid is not injected from the inner surface of the annular nozzle, it is preferable to inject a gas or a non-coagulating solution in order to maintain a good shape of the fibers. The spinning stock solution that comes into contact with the coagulation liquid immediately coagulates, and the solvent is leached into the coagulation liquid to form hollow fibers.

であり、好ましくは99%以上である。 The aromatic polysulfone hollow fiber thus obtained has a dense layer on one or both sides of the membrane, and the inside of the membrane has a porous structure. There may be a cavity inside the membrane. The performance of the membrane is mainly determined by the dense layer on the surface, and the internal porous structure acts as a support layer to maintain the membrane's shape. When the inner and/or outer surfaces of the fibers are observed with a scanning electron microscope, substantially no pores or gaps should be observed. The protein in the blood is albumin, which has a molecular weight of 69,000, and has a molecular weight of approx.
Since it is mainly composed of 160,000 globulins and various proteins of higher molecular weight, it must exhibit a high albumin blocking rate in order to prevent blood proteins from permeating through it. Therefore, the membrane used in the present invention needs to have an albumin rejection rate of 95% or more, preferably 99% or more.

Furthermore, hollow fibers are washed with water and thoroughly desolvated before use, but if they are dried before use, they must be impregnated with glycerin or the like to maintain water permeability. It is preferable to make it hydrophilic.

われる。 In order to remove water from the blood and concentrate the blood using the hemoconcentrator of the present invention, blood is introduced from the inlet of the hemoconcentrator and the blood is pressurized, or the outside of the hollow fiber is placed under negative pressure and the blood side is What is necessary is to make the pressure relatively high. The appropriate pressure difference (trans membrane pressure) is about 200 to 500 mmHg. Moisture in the blood permeates the membrane and is discharged to the outside of the hollow fiber due to the pressure difference between the two sides of the membrane, thereby concentrating the blood. The blood concentration rate is controlled by measuring the amount of water discharged and adjusting the pressure difference.
