Bacterial endotoxin contamination in dialysate may pass through haemodialysis membrane and cause a silent chronic microinflammation to kidney patients. Dual-layer hollow fibre (DLHF) membranes with dual function, biocompatible adsorptive and antibacterial effects were developed to solve the problem...
