Among these solutes, we focused on five solutes which were IS, p-cresyl sulfate, phenyl sulfate, hippuric acid, and indoleacetic acid. The selection criteria for these solutes were both their high serum concentration in hemodialysis patients and their effect on viable cell number of porcine renal tubular cells (unpublished observation).
