          Abstract

          Background: Reactions to dialyzers used in dialysis have been reported more frequently in recent years. Evidence, however, shows that the reaction rate has remained stable for years. Summary: One explanation for the apparent increase in publication frequency could be the lack of knowledge that dialyzer reactions may well occur with biocompatible membranes. Studies showed that the cause of these reactions is very diverse and varied, involving multiple materials. However, polyvinylpyrrolidone continues to be the main suspect, but without conclusive results. There are no differences between the different fibers, and although polysulfone is the most described, it is also the most used. Key Messages: The change to cellulose triacetate continues to be the most appropriate form of treatment. The classification of these reactions into type A and B complicates the diagnosis, and its true usefulness is in doubt.

          Haemodialysis-associated anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions.

          Anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions related to haemodialysis have been increasingly described for almost 3 decades. The majority of these cases used to occur with ethylene oxide sterilized, and complement-activating cellulose membranes. However, a considerable number of publications have focused on polyacrylonitrile AN69 high flux membranes, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and iron as other important causes of potentially severe haemodialysis-related anaphylactoid reactions. Clinical manifestations vary considerably and generally do not allow differentiation between IgE-mediated anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions (e.g. from nonspecific mediator release). Successful management of these patients requires multidisciplinary approach and involves prompt recognition and treatment by the attending physician, and identification of the offending agent(s) with subsequent avoidance of the incriminated compound(s). This review focuses on some major causes of anaphylactoid and anaphylactic reactions during haemodialysis. Special consideration is given to the therapeutic and diagnostic approach.

            Anaphylactoid reactions during hemodialysis on AN69 membranes in patients receiving ACE inhibitors.

            We report five life-threatening anaphylactoid reactions occurring within the very first minutes of hemodialysis on polyacrylonitrile (AN69) capillary dialyzers in three patients receiving ACE inhibitors. Such reactions were not observed either in patients treated with ACE inhibitors but dialyzed on other membranes (N = 9), nor in patients on AN69 who did not receive ACE inhibitors (N = 19). These anaphylactoid reactions could be due to bradykinin accumulation, as a result of both increased synthesis--by interaction of blood with the AN69 polymer--and catabolism blockade by ACE inhibitors.
