An in-vivo plasmapheresis or in-vivo ultrafiltration membrane comprises a
plurality of elongated hollow microporous fibers each fiber having an
outer wall, an inner wall and an interior lumen extending along the
length thereof and defined by an inner wall surface, and wherein the
fiber wall structure is a substantially continuous change in mass density
from the outer wall to the inner wall and comprises a continuum of voids
bounded by solid frames, the fiber wall having an asymmetrical pore size
and asymmetrical mass density between said inner wall surface and the
outer wall surface with a higher mass density adjacent to the outer wall
and a lower mass density adjacent to said inner wall, and characterized
by a nitric oxide donor composition capable of producing or releasing
nitric oxide or inducing nitric oxide production or release in-vivo with
a blood vessel, distributed on or in the fiber wall.
