Abstract
ObjectiveTo detect the difference of immune function between patients with CKD3 and CKD4 and normal controls by detecting the difference of immune cell count in patients with chronic renal failure CKD3 and CKD4.
MethodsFlow cytometry was used to detect the expression of CD3+, CD4+, CD4+ /CD8+, CD8+ T lymphocytes and CD19+ B lymphocytes in peripheral blood of patients with CKD stage 3, CKD stage 4 and normal controls. Differences in immune function between patients with CKD stage 4 and normal subjects.
ResultsThe CD3+ and CD4+ T lymphocytes in patients with CKD stage 3 were significantly decreased compared with the normal group. The CD3+ T lymphocytes in patients with CKD stage 4 were significantly lower than those in the normal group(P<0.05). The CD19+ B lymphocytes in patients with CKD4 were lower than those in the normal group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the ratio of CD4+ /CD8+ cells(P>0.05).
ConclusionsLymphocyte subset analysis is of great significance in the evaluation of immune function in patients with CKD. Monitoring these indicators predicts the progression of CKD, the occurrence of complications and guides the therapeutic effect.
