Reduction of free immunoglobulin light chains using adsorption properties of hemodiafiltration with endogenous reinfusion.

abstract：BACKGROUND/AIMS:Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common clinical presentation of dialysis-related amyloidosis. It was determined whether β(2)-microglobulin (β2M) and advanced glycation end products in serum are predictors of CTS in dialysis patients. METHODS:A total of 385 hemodialysis patients were screened for CTS....
