In 8 patients with chronic peritoneal dialysis before and after 24-hour peritoneal dialysis examinations on the cellular immunity were performed (lymphocyte blast transformation with PHA and Con A, ADCC). There was no difference to the normal findings in healthy control persons. Blast transformation decreased during peritoneal dialysis, no changes were visible with ADCC. Compared with reports in literature concerning regular hemodialysis therapy the state of cellular immunity in chronic peritoneal dialysis seemed to be superior.
