  • Title: Phagocytic activity of neutrophils from the peritoneal dialysate of patients with chronic renal failure treated by intermittent peritoneal dialysis.
    Author: Sułowicz W.
    Journal: Folia Haematol Int Mag Klin Morphol Blutforsch; 1990; 117(2):325-30. PubMed ID: 1697837.
    Abstract:
    The phagocytic activity of peritoneal neutrophils was assessed using Bacto-Latex in 50 patients with chronic renal failure treated with intermittent peritoneal dialysis, and in 30 control patients with normal renal function. In the group of patients treated with peritoneal dialysis 20 were additionally investigated while developing peritonitis. A significant decrease in the phagocytic activity of neutrophils was observed in the both dialysed groups, as compared with control subjects. Moreover, the phagocytic activity was significantly lower in patients with peritonitis as compared with dialysed patients without this complication.
