Hemodialysis Patients Display a Declined Proportion of Th2 and Regulatory T Cells in Parallel with a High Interferon-γ Profile.

abstract：:Pruritus is a common symptom among patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis. However, its etiology remains unclear. In an attempt to clarify its cause we tried to correlate pruritus and its intensity with several serological variables in 94 hemodialysis patients. Our results show that higher serum aluminum concentra...
