چکیده

Previous reports that polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) function is impaired in hemodialysis patients do not differentiate between effects of dialysis and of uremia. The hypothesis that chronic renal insufficiency impairs PMN function was tested. Phagocytosis and oxidative burst were measured in PMN from patients with varying degrees of chronic renal insufficiency impairs PMN function was tested. Phagocytosis and oxidative burst were measured in PMN from patients with varying degrees of chronic renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance, 6 to 35 mL/min per 1.73 m2) and normal subjects. The ability of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) to prime the oxidative burst was also assessed. Phagocytosis of Staphylococcus aureus and basal H2O2 and O2- release by PMN did not differ between normal subjects and patients with chronic renal insufficiency. However, the oxidative burst stimulated by S. aureus and formyl-Met-Leu-Phe, but not phorbol myristate acetate, was significantly enhanced in PMN from patients with chronic renal insufficiency. The increase in formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-stimulated oxidative burst correlated significantly with the level of renal function. TNF-alpha significantly increased S. aureus-induced H2O2 production in normal PMN, but not in PMN from patients with chronic renal insufficiency. These data indicate that chronic renal insufficiency does not impair PMN phagocytosis and oxidative burst. To the contrary, it enhances receptor-mediated oxidative burst. The inability of TNF-alpha to further enhance the oxidative burst suggests that PMN exist in a primed state in patients with chronic renal insufficiency.

Polymorphonuclear leukocyte injury by methylglyoxal and hydrogen peroxide: a possible pathological role for enhanced oxidative stress in chronic kidney disease.

BACKGROUND Accelerated burst of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) may be involved in the primary pathology of enhanced oxidative stress in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, the precise mechanism remains unknown. Methylglyoxal (MGO), an alpha-oxoaldehyde reportedly elevated in CKD, could induce apoptosis in several cell lines, and generates radicals by the reaction with hydr...

Primed peripheral polymorphonuclear leukocyte: a culprit underlying chronic low-grade inflammation and systemic oxidative stress in chronic kidney disease.

This study characterizes the causal relationship between peripheral polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) priming, systemic oxidative stress (OS), and inflammation in patients with varying degrees of renal insufficiency (chronic kidney disease [CKD] not on renal replacement therapy [RRT]: continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis [HD]) and healthy control subjects. Rate of superoxi...

Resistin inhibits essential functions of polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

The serum levels of resistin, a 12-kDa protein primarily expressed in inflammatory cells in humans, are increased in patients with chronic kidney disease and in those with diabetes mellitus. Both groups of patients have an increased risk of infections mainly as a result of disturbed polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) functions. Therefore, we investigated the influence of resistin on human PMNLs...

Sagliker Syndrome in a Patient with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Chronic Renal Insufficiency: A Case Report

Sagliker syndrome is a rare form of renal osteodystrophy resulted from untreated secondary hyperparathyroidism. It is described by severe skeletal deformities, high level of PTH in patients with chronic renal failure, and deformed face. This paper reports a 44-year-old male patient with the mentioned characteristics. In addition to the unique clinical features, high levels of ALP and PTH hormon...

Pro-inflammatory cytokines and leukocyte oxidative burst in chronic kidney disease: culprits or innocent bystanders?

BACKGROUND Pro-inflammatory cytokines are elevated in chronic kidney disease (CKD), a condition characterized by microinflammation with oxidative stress as key feature. However, their role in the inflammatory response at uraemic concentrations has not yet been defined. In this study, the contribution of cytokines on induction of leukocyte oxidative stress was investigated. METHODS Whole blood...
