Popis: The authors report a case of severe granulocytopenia without increased susceptibility to infections in a patient with IRC (chronic renal failure) on hemofiltration treatment. The possible pathogenetic mechanisms are examined. The phenomenon is probably due to an altered compartmentation of neutrophils; the temporariness and the quick correction of the granulocytopenia explain the lack of clinical manifestations.
