The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a drop in platelet count after hemodialysis. Hemodialysis membranes are known to activate complement and cause a drop in platelets and sometimes in white blood cells. The investigators are going to study one of the membranes which is the Fresenius Optiflux® to check if it causes a drop in platelets.
