Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A 75‐year‐old woman was admitted for dyspnea and fever. She underwent emergent dialysis smoothly under F6‐HPS polysulfone hemodialyzer. With two subsequent hemodialysis sessions, severe anaphylactic reaction with cardiopulmonary resuscitation occurred under FX60 polysulfone dialyzer. Further dialysis sessions by F6‐HPS polysulfone dialyzer were uneventful. This rare case demonstrated that dialyzer reaction may be markedly different even with the same material and the same manufacturer.</p> </abstract>
