چکیده

In vitro experiments have related anaphylactoid reactions in patients treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors during dialysis with AN69 membranes to excessive bradykinin generation using this negatively charged dialysis membrane. In the present clinical trial plasma bradykinin levels were followed during the early phase of dialysis in 10 patients, not being treated with ACE inhibitors, using AN69, cuprophane, and polysulfone membranes. Bradykinin was measured after extraction by radioimmunoassay. During this study one episode of anaphylaxis occurred during dialysis with the AN69 membrane. Blood samples were collected during the first 5 min of the adverse reaction and showed a more than 100-fold increase in the venous effluent of the AN69 dialyzer (baseline 40 +/- 3 vs. 4,900 +/- 130 fmol/ml after 5 min). Even though none of the patients received ACE inhibitors, there were 4 more asymptomatic individuals who displayed a more than two-fold increase in their plasma bradykinin concentrations in the venous effluent of the AN69 dialyzer. When these patients were treated either with cuprophane or with polysulfone dialyzers, no significant bradykinin formation was detected, nor were there any adverse events. Taken together, these findings show that anaphylactoid reactions with the AN69 membrane are due to excessive bradykinin generation which even may occur in the absence of ACE inhibitors.

Bradykinin is a mediator of anaphylactoid reactions during hemodialysis with AN69 membranes.

Anaphylactoid reactions (AR) are the most feared complications of hemodialysis. Recently, a high incidence of AR has been reported during dialysis with AN69 membranes in patients treated with ACE inhibitors. Plasma levels of C3a, histamine and bradykinin were measured in 12 patients at the onset of AR during dialysis with AN69. We also investigated bradykinin generation in 10 symptom-free patie...

Kinin generation by hemodialysis membranes as a possible cause of anaphylactoid reactions.

1. Severe anaphylactoid reactions have been reported in some patients treated with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors during hemodialysis with a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane. Generation of bradykinin via contact activation at the negatively charged membrane surface and reduced bradykinin breakdown due to ACE inhibition have been suggested as possible causes. This hypothesis was ...

Intestinal manifestations with a surface-treated AN69 membrane and ACEI during haemodialysis.

Sir, AN69-associated reactions in haemodialysed patients receiving angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) are well-documented [1]. The negatively charged AN69 membrane is thought to activate the bradykinin system. Moreover, ACEI reduces bradykinin inactivation. Surface-treated AN69 is considered to be safer in that regard. To our knowledge, only one case of anaphylactoid reaction induc...

Fatal acute systemic hypersensitivity reaction during haemodialysis.

Haemodialysis (HD)-associated anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions are found to be a complex problem, and though they have been well-documented in literature, a number of unexplored aspects remain. Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening, generalized or systemic form of hypersensitivity. The clinical diagnosis is based on case history and physical examination, and includes symptoms of air...
