Popis: Background Mortality in patients with end-stage renal disorders is often a consequence of cardiovascular complications. Renal replacement therapies may contribute to this morbidity by promoting cellular activation. In renal failure patients peripheral blood samples were investigated for platelet and endothelial cell activation markers to compare the effects of haemodiafiltration (HDF) and haemodialysis (HD). Methods Overall 28 patients were included in the study. Platelet P-selectin and leukocyte - platelet heterotypic aggregates were studied by flow cytometry. Soluble P- and E-selectin values were determined by ELISA, while von Willebrand factor (vWF) antigen levels were measured by immunoturbidimetry. Statistical analysis was done by the SPSS v22 software. Results Platelet surface P-selectin was below 3.0 % in healthy controls, but it was higher during the dialysis after 4 h, 8 % and 14.3 % in HDF and HD, respectively. Monocyte-platelet heterotypic aggregates were significantly elevated after 4 h in both treatments, up to 69.2 % in HDF and to 82.9 % in HD. Soluble P-selectin levels were also significantly elevated by the end of both treatment procedures (p
