A high blood flow of 400 ml/min induces leukocytosis after 2 hr of dialysis with leukocyte concentrations of 110-150% of predialysis values. The leukocytosis occurs with both low and high biocompatible membranes, such as Cuprophan, Hemophan, and Polyamide. Cuprophan induces the most profound leukopenia, and also induces the most pronounced leukocytosis. For treatments with a given membrane there was, however, no correlation between leukopenia and leukocytosis. Leukopenia was independent of blood flow, while leukocytosis was strongly influenced by this factor. These observations indicate that different factors cause leukopenia and leukocytosis. Although a larger area induced more leukopenia, the effect was small. Membrane area had no effect on leukocytosis. There were no acute clinical side effects during dialysis that could be related to the leukocyte overshoot. The cause and chronic clinical consequences of leukocyte overshoot are unknown.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
