The invention relates to a dialysis solution having at least one osmotic agent, with the osmotic agent being a polysaccharide modified by 2-sulfoethyl groups.

Method for transfusion medicine to reduce adverse events in transfusion patient populations based on underlying patient physiology. Methods for reducing the risk of an inflammatory response in a sickle cell patient in need of a blood transfusion.

The present invention provides methods, agents, compounds, and compositions useful for administering to subjects having or at risk of having anemias. In certain embodiments, methods herein comprise administering two agents to a subject, which are useful for the treatment of an anemia.

The present invention relates to the field of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, in particular to a fat emulsion dialysate, and preparation method and the use thereof. Provided in the present invention is a fat emulsion dialysate, comprising a long-chain fat emulsion oil, a medium-chain triglyceride, an anti-oxidant, sodium oleate, glycerin, phospholipid, and a solvent. Compared with traditional dialysis, the fat emulsion dialysate provided by the present invention has a better advantage for protein-bound toxin removal. In addition, the fat emulsion dialysate not only has a simple preparation method and a low cost, but also has good stability and safety, and remains stable at room temperature for 14 days without obvious precipitation. Thus, the fat emulsion dialysate can become a hemodialysis dialysate or peritoneal dialysate with broad application prospects, and has good industrialization prospects.

A Direct Sodium Removal method, apparatus and solution for treating patients in heart failure, and having a glomerular filtration rate greater than 15 mL/min/1.73 m.sup.2, or residual kidney function corresponding to normal to CKD Stage 4, is provided in which a no or low sodium DSR infusate is administered to the peritoneal cavity for a predetermined dwell period and then removed, thereby removing sodium from the body. The resulting elimination of fluid from the patient by i) functioning of the kidneys through urination and ii) direct removal of osmotic ultrafiltrate from the peritoneal cavity, restores serum sodium concentrations to healthy levels and thereby reduces fluid overload in the patient.
