Alterations of the cytokine network in hemodialysis.
This study focuses on the mechanisms responsible for monocyte activation and enhanced cytokine production in hemodialysis. Particular emphasis is given to recent recognition of a link between cytokine production and chronic inflammation following long-term complications in today's hemodialysis population, namely cardiovascular disease and malnutrition.
