    Patients with severe renal disease show impaired cellular immunity. Chronic pyelonephritis is linked to a defective immune response, impacting skin reactivity and lymphocyte function.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Nephrology
    • Cellular Immunity

    Background:

    • Cellular immune reactivity plays a crucial role in managing various diseases.
    • Renal disease can significantly impact the immune system's function.
    • Understanding immune deficits in kidney disease is vital for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate cellular immune reactivity in patients with different types of renal disease.
    • To assess the correlation between renal function markers and immune responses.
    • To identify specific immune defects associated with chronic pyelonephritis.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied 78 patients with renal disease using skin testing with recall antigens.
    • Performed lymphocyte transformation tests with tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) and leucoagglutinin.

  • Compared immune responses between patient groups and healthy controls based on serum creatinine levels.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients with serum creatinine ≥ 230 µmol/l and those with chronic pyelonephritis (creatinine < 230 µmol/l) exhibited reduced skin reactivity to common antigens (streptokinase-streptodornase, parotitis, PPD).
    • Glomerulonephritis patients with serum creatinine < 230 µmol/l maintained normal skin reactivity.
    • Lymphocyte transformation tests revealed decreased reactivity exclusively in patients with serum creatinine ≥ 230 µmol/l.

    Conclusions:

    • Chronic pyelonephritis is associated with a compromised efferent, non-specific arm of cellular immunity.
    • Severe renal impairment (serum creatinine ≥ 230 µmol/l) affects both skin reactivity and lymphocyte function.
    • Immune system assessment can provide insights into the pathogenesis of renal diseases.
