Adsorbent for removing complement component.

摘要

An adsorbent for removing a complement component and/or an activated complement component, which comprises a water-insoluble porous gel having an anionic functional group at least on a part of the surface of said gel. The adsorbent can remove the complement component and the activated complement component efficiently and selectively from body fluid. Also, the activation of the complement system caused by contacting with the absorbent is not observed. Accordingly, the adsorbent of the invention is useful for removing the complement component and/or the activated complement component from body fluid in extracorporeal circulation treatment.
