Superoxide generation by neutrophils after exposure to a conventional peritoneal dialysis solution for different time periods.

Abstract

Neutrophils were isolated from canine blood and exposed to a conventional, acidic, lactate-containing peritoneal dialysis solution for 0, 2 and 4 minutes in one study and 0, 4, 7 and 10 minutes in another. Superoxide generation, expressed in nanomoles per million cells, was determined using a method based on the superoxide dismutase-inhibitable reduction of ferricytochrome c. Brief exposure of neutrophils to a conventional dialysis solution could significantly inhibit the generation of superoxide by neutrophils.
