Popis: Heparin (both unfractionated and low molecular weight) is not only a potent anticoagulant but also has many pleiotropic effects, some of which are mediated by cytokine release. We compared the effect of hemodialysis (HD) with enoxaparin as an anticoagulant and without systemic anticoagulation (heparin-grafted membrane—Evodial) on the release of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), endostatin (ES) and activin A (Act-A). Nineteen stable HD patients were dialyzed with or without heparin, and plasma levels of MCP-1, ES and Act-A were measured after such a dialysis. During HD with Evodial, the intradialytic levels of all three cytokines were 2–3 folds lower. The between-anticoagulant differences were significant over time for all three cytokines: MCP-1 (P
