Method for removing lipoproteins using an adsorbent.

摘要

An adsorbent for lipoproteins which is a water-insoluble matrix having, on at least a part of the surface thereof, a group of the formula -NR1R2 wherein R' is hydrogen, methyl group or ethyl group; R2 is an atomic group having an aromatic ring satisfying that the value of log P, in which P is a distribution coefficient in a water - octanol system, of a compound of the formula R2H is from 0 to 3.2 and an apparatus for removing lipoproteins using the above adsorbent. The lipoprotein adsorbent has such advantages as a low cost, a good stability and a sufficient adsorption selectivity for adsorbing LDL and VLDL in a fluid containing lipoproteins.
