Hemodialysis leukopenia. Pulmonary vascular leukostasis resulting from complement activation by dialyzer cellophane membranes.
Acute leukopenia occurs in all patients during the first hour of hemodialysis with cellophanemembrane equipment. This transient cytopenia specifically involves granulocytes and monocytes, cells which share plasma membrane reactivity towards activated complement components. The present studies document that complement is activated during exposure of plasma to dialyzer cellophane, and that upon r...
متن کاملLeukopenia, hypoxia, and complement function with different hemodialysis membranes.
Complement activation during exposure of plasma to cuprophan has been postulated to cause leukopenia and hypoxia in hemodialysis patients. To determine if hypoxia is related to leukopenia and if complement activation leads to a depletion of functional complement components, we dialyzed four patients three times sequentially against each of four types of membranes: cuprophan, regenerated cellulo...
متن کاملCellophane Membranes
A cellophane membrane has proved a simple device for separating the L variant of Streptobacillus moniliformis from the bacterial form, as reported by P6rezMiravete and Calder6n (1956). When a culture was inoculated on cellophane resting on clear medium, they observed the development of the L type colonies only on the agar, whereas bacterial growth flourished on the surface of the cellophane. It...
متن کاملHemodialysis leukopenia and complement function with different dialyzers.
The relationship between leukopenia and the complement system during hemodialysis was re-examined by studying not only the in vivo effects of four different dialyzer membranes (cellulose hydrate, cuprophan, cellulose acetate, and polyacrilonitrile) on leukocyte counts and complement levels, but especially by investigating the effects of these membranes on complement function in vitro. Whereas f...
متن کاملComplement (C5-a)-induced granulocyte aggregation in vitro. A possible mechanism of complement-mediated leukostasis and leukopenia.
Activated plasma complement will induce biphasic aggregation of human granulocytes dectable by standard nephelometric techniques. The responsible active component was suggested to be C5a by molecular weight and heat-stability assays; moreover, aggragating activity was ablated by anti-C5 but not anti-C3 antibodies. C5a prepared by trypsinization of purified C5 reproduced the aggregating activity...
