   Abstract : In patients on hemodialysis the sequential steps required for adhesion molecule mediated adherence of leukocytes to endothelial cells are unphysiologically disrupted since cell activation with subsequent alterations in adhesion molecule phenotypes takes place in the extracorporeal circuit far away from the respective endothelial cell ligand. The aims of the present investigations were to study the changes in adhesion molecule phenotypes on inflammatory cells induced by clinical and experimental hemodialysis and the consequences with regard to the capacity of the cells to adhere to endothelial cells.
