Acute leukopenia occurs in all patients during the 1st h of hemodialysis with cellophane-membrane equipment. This transient cytopenia specifically involves granulocytes and monocytes, cells which share plasma membrane reactivity towards activated complement [C] components. The present studies document that C is activated during exposure of plasma to dialyzer cellophane, and that upon reinfusion of this plasma into the venous circulation, granulocyte and monocyte entrapment in the pulmonary vasculature is induced. During early dialysis, conversion of C3 [C component 3] and factor B can be demonstrated in plasma as it leaves the dialyzer. Simple incubation of human plasma with dialyzer cellophane causes conversion of C3 and factor B, accompanied by depletion of total hemolytic C and C3 but sparing of hemolytic Cl. Reinfusion of autologous, cellophane-indubated plasma into rabbits produces selective granulocytopenia and monocytopenia identical to that seen in dialyzed patients. Lungs from such animals reveal striking pulmonary vessel engorgement with granulocytes. The activated C component(s) responsible for leukostasis has an approximate MW of 7,000-20,000 daltons. Since it is generated in C2-deficient plasma and is associated with factor B conversion, it is suggested that activation of C by dialysis is predominantly through the alternative pathway.
