Up to day the pathogenesis of immune deficiency in chronic renal failure have not been clearly elucidated. There is no agreement where is situated the primary disturbance that makes that category of patients more susceptible to infections and neoplasms. The views presented in this paper seem to shift the balance toward multifactor theory. Possible influence of many biochemical abnormalities and effect of renal replacement therapies on main elements of immune system are discussed.
