..., including peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (PBL), which may contribute to uremic leukopenia and immune dysfunction. Methods: The molecular effects of these solutes were investigated in uremic PBL (u-PBL) and mononuclear cell lines (THP-1 and K562) exposed to the high molecular weight fraction...

... was more extensive with CP than with PC membranes. The new membrane represents an improvement of biocompatibility with respect to the complement-leukocyte system, whereas the effect on platelets resembles the injury caused by CP membranes. 29 10 2008 © 1986 S.

... of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) resulting in about 50% of these cells separating with the mononuclear cells. In vitro exposure of normal control peripheral blood to HD membranes as well as to the purified chemotactic factors C5a, C5ad es -Arg, and formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) also resulted in PMN density changes...

...Raymond C. Vanholder; Severin M. Ringoir Cuprophane hemodialysis is associated with an early fall of leukocyte counts and an intradialytic rise in serum β 2 -microglobulin (β 2 M), in contrast to dialysis with more compatible dialyzers. It has been suggested that these two phenomena may be related...
