Oxygen consumption during phagocytosis by leucocytes in renal transplant patients
European Urology
|January 1, 1980
Abstract:
Oxygen consumption during phagocytosis by leucocytes in renal transplant patients and in normal persons was studied. A significant decrease in oxygen consumption was observed in patients receiving immunosuppressive treatment. This may partly explain the increased susceptibility to infections in these patients.
