[Immunologic analysis of the effectiveness of hemosorption in symptomatic hypertension of renal origin].

The content of circulating immune complexes, IgA, IgM, IgG, components of NK- and K-cell complement and phagocytosis were studied during hemosorption in 14 patients with chronic nephritis and chronic pyelonephritis with symptomatic hypertension. Diverse changes of humoral immunity indices associated with their initial level were revealed. A drop of arterial pressure and improved kidney function were noted in some patients. The leukocyte phagocytic activity, natural and antibody dependent cytotoxicity rose.
