Abstract
This invention provides method and membrane for hemodialysis which has a total protein permeability of not more than 0.2%, and has a reduction rate of .beta..sub.2 -microglobulin of not less than 5%. The hemodialysis membrane of the present invention selectively removes .beta..sub.2 -microglobulin which was shown to cause some long-term complications such as carpal tunnel syndrome in the patients undergoing hemodialysis, while preventing the leakage of useful proteins.
