Neutrophil peripheral count and human leukocyte elastase during chronic lithium carbonate therapy.

Abstract:

:Plasma levels of human polymorphonuclear elastase (PMN-E) are considered a marker of granulocyte activation and can potentially complement the peripheral neutrophil count in laboratory and pathophysiological settings. Neutrophilic leukocytosis is a well known effect of lithium therapy, but there is no information about the concomitant behaviour of PMN-E in these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate both polymorphonuclear leukocyte count and plasma PMN-E levels in depression patients undergoing chronic lithium therapy. Absolute and differential leukocyte count in venous peripheral blood was determined by an automated method, and PMN-E evaluated by enzyme immunoassay. 39 patients (11 males, 28 females; mean age 43. +/- 6.02) with depression disorders were studied, during lithium carbonate therapy. Neutrophilia (neutrophil count > 7.500x10(9) cells per liter) was found in 7 (18%) patients and an increase in plasma PMN-E levels (PMN-E > 56 microg per liter ) in 6 (15%). No correlations were found between neutrophil count, plasma concentration of PMN-E, plasma level of lithium and duration of therapy. The results show that in these patients, not only the PMN count but also elastase levels can exceed the normal range. The absence of correlation between these two parameters suggests that the state of PMN activation is not linked to their number in peripheral blood.
