The effect of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on the lymphocyte subpopulations of maintenance hemodialysis patients has been studied. Peripheral lymphocyte counts, lymphocyte subpopulations (Two color analysis) and PHA-induced proliferative response were measured before and after rHuEPO administration during 8 months in 22 stable hemodialysis patients (mean age 52 years, mean duration of dialysis 48 months). We could find a significant increase in the proportions of CD4+ Leu8- cells, HLA-DR+ cells, CD8+ HLA-DR+ cells, CD14+ HLA-DR+ cells and CD4+ Leu8-/CD8+ CD11b+ cells ratios after rHuEPO therapy. In addition, a significant decrease in the proportions of CD16+ CD57- cells and CD20+ cells could be found after rHuEPO therapy. These results suggest that rHuEPO administration to stable hemodialysis patients induces increases in lymphocytes categorized into helper subset groups and in activated T lymphocytes.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.
