Abstract
An adsorbent or bradykinin comprising styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer having sulfonic acid groups and a method for adsorbing and removing bradykinin comprising contacting the adsorbent with a fluid containing bradykinin are provided. An adsorber for adsorbing bradykinin in which the adsorbent is charged in a vessel having an inlet and an outlet for a fluid is also provided.
Claims9
A method for removing bradykinin from body fluids, wherein the method comprises contacting an adsorbent comprising a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer having sulfonic acid groups with a body fluid containing bradykinin.
A method for treating a disease of which the causal agent is bradykinin, wherein. the method comprises contacting an adsorbent for bradykinin comprising a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer having sulfonic acid groups with a body fluid from a patient with the disease.
Use of an adsorbent for bradykinin in a method for treating a disease of which the causal agent is bradykinin wherein the adsorbent comprises a styren-divinylbenzene copolymer having sulfonic acid groups, and the method comprises charging the adsorbent in a vessel;
- incorporating the vessel in an extracorporeal circulation circuit in an in-line system;
- and removing bradykinin from a body fluid from a patient which is passed through the extracorporeal circulation circuit.
