[Changes in lymphocyte receptors and their activation markers during hemodialysis using various membranes].
BACKGROUND
It's known that uremia is accompanying with different alteration of immune system. Also, different type of dialysis membranes can affect the immunological competence cells--lymphocytes and their function during hemodialysis (HD).


OBJECTIVE
To establish the effect of single hemodialysis session with polysulfonic and cellulose--acetat membranes on lymphocyte subpopulations and their activation markers.


METHODS
In two groups of seven patients with end stage of renal disease (ESRD) on periodic HD we were investigated flow-cytometrical expression the following markers using monoclonal antibodies (BECTON DICKENSON): CD3 (T-Ly), CD19 (B-Ly), CD4 (T helper/inducer), CD8 (T-suppressor/cytotoxic), CD4/CD8 ratio, CD16 (NK cells), CD3/HLA-DR (late activated T-cells), CD4/CD 25 (IL-2R early activated T4), CD4/HLA-DR (late activated T8), CD8/CD25 (early activated T8), CD8/CD71 (late activated CD8). Blood samples were taken before HD, 30 minutes into HD and at the end of a four-hours HD session.


RESULTS
Demostrates statistical increased expression T helper cells on both membranes on minute 30 from beginning of HD procedure, but more on cellulose-acetat membranes and the significant falls to normal value at the end of HD: start 46.7% minute 30: 54.9%, minute 240: 42.7%. Significant changes were in expression of NK cells on cellulose-acetat membranes: start 12.7%; minute 30: 6.0; minute 240: 11.1%. No changes were noted in activations of T Ly, T4 and T8 on the both membranes.


CONCLUSIONS
No significant difference was found in expression of lymphocyte subpopulations and their activations during HD with polysulfone membranes. Significant changes of the expression of NK cells during HD with cellulose acetat, indicated that NK cells can be sensitive marker for biocompatibility of HD membranes.
