Surface passivation by human albumin of plasmaperesis circuits reduces platelet accumulation and thrombus formation. Experimental and clinical studies

Abstract: The contact of flowing blood with an artificial surface leads to adsorption of plasma proteins, followed by platelet adhesion and aggregation and thrombus formation. This phenomenon is enhanced by turbulent flow at joints, bifurcations, and constrictions. In therapeutic plasmapheresis using an IBM blood cell separator, blockage of the extracorporeal circulation system by platelet-fibrin thrombi imposed a halt in treatment for manual clearance of the circuit for 66 in 149 cases (44%). Thus it was decided to pas… Show more

“…One of the first proteins to be used for pre-coating blood-contacting surfaces was albumin [9]. Prior to the introduction of ionic or covalently bound surfaces, albumin was added to the circuit prime of adult circuits to increase the oncotic pressure of the priming solutions.…”

“…In pediatrics, it was often used as a precursor to the addition of packed red cells. The purpose of the albumin pre-coat was to provide a base layer of protein that would delay or mitigate the biological response to the heavily hydrophobic surfaces [9,10]. Adsorbed albumin both increases the hydrophilicity of the surface and provides a competitive protein that the fibrinogen must displace.…”

“…It is well documented that platelets do not adhere readily to such surfaces 34,41,42 ; therefore the albumin surfaces were employed as a negative control to study the possibility that the apparatus itself may cause significant platelet activation, thereby resulting in elevated adhesion to any surface, even one that is known to be unreactive. Platelet activation may be expected to result either from platelet interactions with the cone surface during the experiment or from local increases in shear rate as a result of fluid turbulence, for example in the peripheral regions of the cone-plate gap.…”

“…A number of methods for preventing catheter clogging in the lumen have been proposed, including the use of large-lumen 10 and bearing biocompatibility of surface. 11 Heparin has been used to modify the polymeric surfaces of medical devices because it is a potent anticoagulant that interacts strongly with antithrombin III to prevent fibrin clot formation. 12 Two general methods have been used to prevent clogging formation on surfaces of polymeric materials using heparin.…”
