Because the population of hemodialysis patients is increasing and because of economic and medical staff limitations, intensive treatment of all the patients who received maintenance hemodialysis is not possible [ 33, 34].
In addition to being costly and labor intensive, another major limitation of biochemical purification of protein deposits is that soluble protein components associated with the core aggregates are likely to be lost during fractionation.
