Schematic diagram of the ex vivo dialysis experiment. The blood side of the circuit in this experiment consisted of the blood circuit, dialyzer, and a soft bag. The dialysate side of the circuit was a closed loop, and the dialysis fluid was circulated using a pump. Porcine blood or PRP was circulated for 4 h at a flow rate of 200 mL/min. The dialysis fluid was circulated co-current with blood at a flow rate of 200 mL/min. As the NO donor, 0.1 mM sodium nitroprusside was continuously injected into the dialysis fluid at the rate of 100 μL/min using a syringe pump. The soft bag was placed in a constant-temperature (37 °C) bath
