简要总结
The aim of the study is to identify hepatic enzyme and estrogen-dependent biochemical changes that occur when dialysis patients are treated with dialyzers known to leach BPA (Bisphenol-A) into the blood, such as the commercially available Fresenius F160NR, as compared with the same chemical evaluations in patients being treated with the non BPA containing Nipro Elisio-15H dialyzer. Evaluations of patient's chemistries will be obtained prior to and after 2 months of standard dialysis treatments with each dialyzer.
详细描述
The investigators propose to elucidate any eventual biochemical changes, and in particular, the in vivo estrogenic activity of BPA (Bisphenol-A), when BPA is being leached into the circulation by the Fresenius 160NR dialyzer as opposed to the same biochemical changes when there is no BPA being leached, as with the non-BPA containing Nipro Elisio-15H dialyzer. The estrogen dependent biochemical end points in humans include free testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and thyroid binding globulin (TBG).

入选标准
- •Male ESRD patients 18 years or older
- •Stable on hemodialysis for more than 3 months
- •Stable hematocrit equal to or above 29 %
- •Stable vascular access
- •Stable anticoagulation
- •No active infection
- •Able to sign informed consent and able to participate in the study
- •Medically stable
排除标准
- •Participation in another study which may interfere with the planned study
- •Active infection
- •Medical conditions which may interfere with the study (unstable cardiac status, chronic liver disease, active hepatitis as defined by elevated liver enzymes)
- •Females (It is expected that potential changes in estrogenic activity that might be seen in patients exposed to BPA will be modest and would be masked by naturally occurring variability of estrogen activity in women at varying stages of gonadal activity (pre, post-menopausal, different points in menstrual cycle, eventual pregnancy, etc). Thus, limiting study to adult males will maximize the possibility of detecting any changes in estrogenic activity.)
