- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>To identify the possible differences (intrapersonal variability) in the<br /><br>proliferative function of:<br /><br>- T-lymphocytes generally (using the phytohemaglutinine tube)<br /><br>- TB-specific lymphocytes (using the Quantiferon-GIT test)<br /><br>- CMV-specific lymphocytes (using the Quantiferon-CMV test)<br /><br>- HB-specific lymphocytes (using the Quantiferon-HB)<br /><br>between the blood samples which were drawn before, during and after the same<br /><br>hemodialysis.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>1. differences in the proportion of patients with indeterminate test result in<br /><br>the positive controle tube (phytohaemaglutinine) in the haemodialysis, PD,<br /><br>non-haemodialysis renal failure and control groups<br /><br><br /><br>2. differences in the proportion of patients with positive Quantiferon-CMV test<br /><br>in the hemodialysis, PD, non-HD renal failure and control groups<br /><br><br /><br>3. differences in the proportion of patients with positive Quantiferon-HB test<br /><br>in the hemodialysis, PD, non-HD renal failure and control groups<br /><br><br /><br>4. differences in the proliferative capacity measured as the amount of produced<br /><br>IFN-γ in the positive controle tube between the group of patients with<br /><br>hemodialysis, PD, non-HD renal failure and control group</p><br>
