Abstract:
Dialysate regeneration via uremic toxin removal remains to be studied. In this study, the removal of creatinine, one of the most water-soluble uremic toxins, using ZSM-5 zeolite as an adsorbent was investigated. The zeolite ZSM-5 was successfully synthesized (57%) with a mole ratio of 0.1 Na2O : 1 SiO : 0.0125 Al2O3 : 20H2O. Modification was performed using an imprinting technique with creatinine as the template to produce creatinine-imprinted ZSM-5 (IZ). Based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization, the crystallinity of IZ was 67%. The successful imprinting of creatinine onto ZSM-5 was confirmed by comparing the FT-IR and surface area analysis characterization results with those of the synthesized ZSM-5. The FT-IR spectra of IZ and synthesized ZSM-5 exhibited similar patterns, indicating that the zeolite framework was preserved during the imprinting process. IZ exhibited shorter contact time and higher adsorption capacity than synthetic ZSM-5. The synthesized IZ was fabricated into a flat-sheet mixed matrix membrane (MMM) with cellulose acetate (CA) and acetone using a glass plate printing method with a composition of 30 CA : 0.1 zeolite : 100 acetone. The efficiency of creatinine adsorption by IZ in the powder form (84%) was greater than that of the MMM/IZ membranes (28.8%).

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
