Haemodialysis is a life-saving therapy. However, in comparison with the healthy kidney, it removes only a small fraction of the uraemic toxins produced, does not function continuously and cannot replicate biological kidney functions. Innovations in membrane design hold promise to overcome these limitations with potential to improve patient outcomes.

透析膜的创新，以改善肾脏替代治疗。

血液透析是一种挽救生命的疗法。但是，与健康的肾脏相比，它只能去除产生的尿毒症毒素的一小部分，不能连续发挥作用，不能复制生物学的肾脏功能。膜设计的创新有望克服这些限制，并有可能改善患者预后。
