Each subject will be tested during one non hemodialysis day, at the UCSF Moffitt-Long Hospital Acute Hemodialysis Unit (AHU).\n\nThe artificial kidney engineers have created a blood flow system that can be substituted for the dialysis filter in a standard hemodialysis machine. This is NOT a dialysis filter. It allows the subjects blood to come in contact with the material while the blood is being circulated as is regularly done during a hemodialysis session.', 'detailedDescription': "For patient safety, the investigators will measure the following labs:\n\nBlood tests (routine safety and frequency). CBC/platelets: q 1 hr, at HD next day ABGs, including lactate: Q 1 hr x 6 Na, K, Cl, Bicarb, BUN, Creatinine, Ca, ionized Ca, Mg, Phos: Start, end, at HD next day Liver function test: Start, end, at HD next day LDH: Start, end, at HD next day Direct Coombs' Test: Start, end, at HD next day ESR and hsCRP: Start, end, at HD next day CPK: Start, end PT/PTT: Start, end\n\nThe investigators will also be doing research blood testing:\n\nIL-6: Start, end, at HD next day Complement: Start, end, at HD next day Haptoglobin: Start, end, at HD next day Free Hg: Start, end, at HD next day Fibrinogen, D-dimer: Start, end, at HD next day\n\nIn addition, the investigators will do material testing after each participant's test is complete.\n\nMaterial studies after in vivo testing :\n\nCell and Protein Adhesion Studies:\n\n1. Scanning Electron Microscopy. The SNM will be placed in a solution containing 2% glutaraldehyde (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Fort Washington, PA), 3% sucrose (Sigma Aldrich) and 0.1 M of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at 4°C and pH 7.4. After 1 hour, the substrates are rinsed twice with PBS for 30 minutes at 4°C and washed with distilled water for 5 minutes. Dehydration is achieved by placing the substrates in 50% ethanol for 15 minutes while increasing the concentration of ethanol to 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and finally 100%. Dehydrated samples are then mounted on aluminum stubs, sputter-coated with gold-palladium, and examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM; Ultra55 FEGSEM, ZEISS, Peabody, MA).\n2. Immunohistochemistry. Platelet adhesion and activation are assessed using immunofluorescence staining for the platelet marker, CD41 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA), and blood-clot marker, tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA, Abcam, Cambridge, MA). Platelets are fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) for 15 minutes followed by incubation in 1% bovine serum albumin for 30 minutes to block nonspecific binding. Platelets are double-labeled as follows: substrates were first incubated with primary antibodies (t-PA), diluted 1:50 in PBS for 60 minutes followed by Alexa Fluor 546 donkey anti-mouse antibody (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) diluted 1:100 in PBS for 60 minutes. Finally, the samples are incubated with anti-human CD41 fluorescein isothiocyanate labeled mouse monoclonal antibody diluted 1:300 in PBS for 60 minutes. Images will be acquired per replicate using a Nikon Eclipse Ti-E motorized inverted microscope (Nikon Instruments Inc., Melville, NY) to obtain a total of 12 images per substrate. The fluorescent intensity of the images is quantified using ImageJ."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '75 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'ESRD', 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* 18-75 y/o\n* ESRD on hemodialysis for at least 3 months\n* HD access capable of sustaining at least 300 ml/min blood flow\n* Hg \\> 10.0 g\n* Able to take aspirin 81 mg/day for a week prior to the study (for those subjects not already on aspirin)\n* Able to read, speak and understand English\n* Capable of providing signed informed consent\n* HD pt at one of the UCSF outpatient HD units\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Subjects with active liver, cardiovascular, neurologic or psychiatric diseases\n* Subjects with other active medical problems (e.g., cancer undergoing treatment)\n* h/o intradialytic or orthostatic hypotension\n* h/o thrombosis or on treatment for thrombosis or use of anticoagulants, excluding antiplatelet agents\n* h/o active infection or on antibiotics\n* h/o active autoimmune diseases or other inflammatory states\n* Ongoing alcohol or illegal drug use\n* Pregnant\n* H/o hemolysis or allergic reactions to any dialyzers\n* Anyone who in the opinion of the study doctors is not qualified to be in the study.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT03241667', 'briefTitle': 'Blood Flow Effects on Silicon Substrates', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of California, San Francisco'}, 'officialTitle': 'Blood Flow Effects on Silicon Substrates', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'AK2017'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'interventions': [{'name': 'HemoCartridge', 'type': 'DEVICE', 'description': "Our goal is to apply MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) and nanotechnology to miniaturize the bioartificial kidney (BAK) into an implantable, self-monitoring, and self-regulating renal surrogate.
