title: Alterations of the cytokine network in hemodialysis.
abstract: 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.
