Assessing protein and albumin recovery rates in different ascites filtration membrane washing methods for cell-free and concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy.

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

In cell-free and concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy (CART), the protein recovery rate decreases when the filtration membrane gets clogged. Employing a device with a filtration membrane washing feature prevents clogging, but it leads to the loss of ascites within the filter, resulting in reduced protein recovery. This study employed a device with a membrane washing function to investigate the relationship between protein recovery rate and the quantity of washing solution used, depending on the selected washing method.
