Early T Cell Activation Correlates with Expression of Apoptosis Markers in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT. End-stage renal failure (ESRF) and chronic hemodialysis (HD) induce a state of immunodeficiency that involves T cell-mediated responses. A decreased T cell number combined with a reduced T cell lifespan and an increased T cell activation might play a role in the immune impairment associated with ESRF and chronic HD. Increased T cell activation associated with immunodeficiency suggests that activated T...
