<p>Adsorption material, esp. for adsorption of phosphates contained in the blood, comprise porous beads containing zirconium oxide and coated witha permeable, hydrophilic polymer of low mol. wt. cpds. Before coating, the beads pref. comprise 20-100 wt.% zirconium specific surface area of 500-1300 sqm/g. The pref. coating is collodion, of about 0.05 micron thickness. Adsorbent cartridges containing the above material are also claimed. Treatment of patients suffering from chronic renal insufficiency, so as to reduce blood phosphate levels during extracorporal blood treatment. The treatment may be effected on the whole blood, the plasma or on a haemofiltrate prior to reinjection.</p> |
