Abstract:
The prostaglandins 6-keto Pgf1 alpha,PG F2 alpha and thromboxane B2 before and during haemodialysis were studied by means of radioisotope method. A significant increase of 6-keto PGF1 alpha and decrease of PGF2 alpha was found. The concentration of thromboxane B2 was markedly, but not significantly decreased. This constellation inhibiting the thrombocytes aggregation and promoting vasodilation seems to be favourable as far as biocompatibility is concerned. Dialysis treatment caused no significant changes in prostaglandins concentration.
