Fig. 2

Platelet aggregation activity in the PS dialyzer group (n = 4). The white bars show the increase in the platelet aggregation activity in response to the addition of ADP, and the black bars show the increase in the platelet aggregation activity in response to the addition of collagen. At the start of dialysis, there was no difference in the platelet aggregation activity between the NO (−) and NO (+) conditions. However, at 30 min after the start of dialysis, the platelet aggregation activity in the NO (+) condition was significantly decreased as compared to that in the NO (−) condition (P < 0.01). The platelet aggregation activity in the NO (+) condition was still significantly decreased as compared with that in the NO (−) condition even at 240 min after the start of dialysis (P < 0.05)
