The magnitude of the changes in a variety of blood constituents on exposure to the dialysis membrane has been used as an index of "biocompatibility," and dialyzer reuse has been postulated to improve biocompatibility by attenuating these changes. We studied the hemodialysis-induced changes in the in vitro production of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and compared the effect of first use and reuse of cuprophan membranes on these changes. Studies were performed during dialysis with first use and third reuse of the same kidney. The cell content and production of IL-1Ra and IL-1 beta by unstimulated and endotoxin- or IgG-stimulated PBMCs were studied just prior to dialysis, and from the afferent and efferent limbs of the blood circuit 15 minutes after the start of dialysis. Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist and IL-1 beta were measured by specific radioimmunoassay and are expressed as picograms per 2.5 x 10(6) PBMCs. Fifteen minutes after the start of dialysis, the number of PBMCs harvested from 10 mL of blood decreased from 19.8 +/- 4.7 x 10(6) predialysis to 14 +/- 3 x 10(6) (P = 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules.
