Transforming growth factor-beta1 may be involved in shunt obstruction in patients on chronic hemodialysis.

abstract：:We studied the expression of Mac-1 on granulocytes (flow cytometry) from 9 patients (27 examinations) during hemodialysis with cuprophane membranes (CuM). Samples were drawn before dialysis and from the arterial and venous lines at 5, 15 and 180 min. Granulocytopenia was most pronounced after 15 min of treatment. Mac-...
