Artificial Kidneys

Abstract Adverse effects of organic polymers used for plasma extenders, tissue adhesives, bone cements, contraceptive devices, prostheses, artificial organs, food packaging, cooking, and laboratory ware are appraised. Parenteral polymer disintegration involves hydrolytic, redox, and degradation reactions. Accumulative toxicity of plasticizers, antioxidants, and monomers liberated from plastic containers warrants investigation. Main problems with heart-assist devices are clotting and blood destruction; with plasma extenders, thesaurismotic reactions; with acrylic bone glues, transitory hypotension; with artificial kidneys, loss of metabolic essentials; with silicone heart valves, uptake of lipids; with silicone chin implants, bone resorption; and with liquid silicone mammary amplification, lumpy breasts and mastitis. A polymer fume fever is linked with pyrolysis of polytetrafluoroethylene. Human solid-state carcinogenesis constitutes a calculated risk with polymer implants. In rodents, all solid polymers tested produced cancer; chemical carcinogenesis was induced by a polyvinyl chloride copolymer, vinyl chloride, polycaprolactam, liquid silicone, and some brands of polytetrafluoroethylene.
