Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, cases have been reported in which unexpected systemic hypersensitivity reactions occurred in patients dialyzed with polysulfone- or polyethersulfone-biocompatible membranes in the absence of other risk factors. The pathomechanisms involved in these reactions are largely unknown. OBJECTIVE To characterize hypersensitivity reactions to polysulfone hemodialysis using clinical and laboratory data and to identify biomarkers suitable for endotype identification and diagnosis. METHODS We prospectively collected data from 29 patients with suspected hypersensitivity reactions to polysulfone hemodialysis membranes. Clinical laboratory parameters such as tryptase, blood cell counts, and complement levels were recorded. Acute samples were obtained from 18 cases for the ex vivo assessment of basophil activation by flow cytometry analysis of CD63, CD203, and FcεRI cell membrane expression. Serum cytokines and anaphylatoxin concentrations were evaluated in 16 cases by Luminex and cytometric bead array analysis. RESULTS Tryptase was elevated during the acute reaction in 4 cases. Evidence of basophil activation was obtained in 10 patients. Complement activation was found in only 2 cases. However, C5a serum levels tended to increase during the acute reaction in those patients with hypoxemia. Significantly higher serum levels of interleukin-6 were observed during the acute reactions to polysulfone hemodialysis (P = .0103). CONCLUSION Based on biomarker analysis, various endotypes were identified, including type I-like (with the involvement of mast cells or basophils), complement, and cytokine (interleukin-6) release-related reactions, with some patients showing mixed reactions. Further research is needed to unravel the exact mechanisms involved in the activation of these cellular and molecular pathways.
