Abstract:
Anaphylactoid reactions during haemodialysis are unusual, but increasingly recognised. It has recently been reported that there is a significant association between such reactions and the presence of IgE to albumin exposed to ethylene oxide (ETO). Review of the clinical features and epidemiology of dialysis anaphylaxis in the light of this new data suggests that these reactions are due to ETO hypersensitivity.
