Dialysis-induced eosinophilia

G Bodner, G Peer, V Zakuth

    Nephron
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Hemodialysis causes a rapid drop in blood eosinophils and neutrophils, likely due to pulmonary sequestration. Eosinophil counts then significantly increase by the end of the procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Nephrology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Hemodialysis is a vital treatment for end-stage renal disease.
    • The effects of hemodialysis on leukocyte counts, particularly eosinophils, are not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dynamic changes in blood eosinophil and neutrophil counts during hemodialysis.
    • To explore potential mechanisms underlying these hematological alterations.

    Main Methods:

    • Blood samples were collected from 21 hemodialysis patients at baseline, 15 minutes, and 5 hours into dialysis.
    • Eosinophil and neutrophil counts were determined using the counting-chamber method.
    • Serum IgE concentrations were measured pre- and post-dialysis.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • A significant decrease in eosinophil counts was observed within the first 15 minutes of hemodialysis (mean drop of 37.5%).
    • Eosinophil counts dramatically increased by the end of the 5-hour dialysis (mean rise of 521%).
    • Neutrophil counts followed a similar pattern, decreasing early and returning to baseline by 5 hours. Predialysis IgE levels were below normal and remained unchanged.

    Conclusions:

    • Early hemodialysis-induced neutropenia and eosinopenia may result from pulmonary sequestration.
    • The significant late eosinophilia suggests the release of eosinophilotactic substances triggered by the dialysis procedure.
