Effect of renal dialysis therapy modality on T cell cytokine production

Effect of renal dialysis therapy modality on T cell cytokine production.

INTRODUCTION Dialysis has been associated with acute changes in the complement activation status, granulocyte markers, macrophage function, T cell activation and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The most common analysis of cytokine production in patients on dialysis has focused on the changes in monokines (particularly IL-1 and TNF alpha), however it is becoming clear that T cell cyto...

Effect of uremia and dialysis modality on mononuclear cell apoptosis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of both uremia itself and hemodialysis (HD) membranes on the induction of apoptosis. Four groups of subjects were evaluated: 21 nondialyzed (Non-D) patients, 10 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients, and 53 HD patients who were on hemophan, cuprophan, cellulose acetate, AN69, and polysulfone; control subjects were nine healthy...

effect of dialysis modality on transplantation outcome in living-donor renal transplantation

The role of pretransplant dialysis modality on renal allograft outcome.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The pretransplant dialysis modality might influence renal allograft and patient survival after transplantation. Studies published to date yielded conflicting results. METHODS Deceased-donor allograft recipients reported to the 'Collaborative Transplant Study' were analysed, using multivariate Cox regression analysis, considering potential confounders which included p...

Effect of Peritoneal Dialysis Modality on the 1-Year Rate of Decline of Residual Renal Function

PURPOSE The effect of different peritoneal dialysis (PD) modalities on the decline in residual renal function (RRF) is unclear due to inconsistencies among studies. In particular, the effect of automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) modalities [continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) and nightly intermittent peritoneal dialysis (NIPD)] on RRF has not been examined in a large cohort. MATERIA...
