How Does Kidney Dialysis Affect the Immune System

Dialysis is one common method for kidney disease and it can replace damaged kidneys to filter excess wastes and fluid out of the body. However, long-term dialysis is associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality in patients. Dialysis can affect many body systems. Well how does kidney dialysis affect the immune system?

Dialysis and immune system

Patients with long-term dialysis are known to suffer from immunodeficiency that leads to increased susceptibility to infections, a higher incidence of malignant tumours, a decrease in cutaneous delayed hypersensitivity, and defective responses to T cell-dependent antigens.

How does kidney disease weaken immune system?

Kidneys are responsible for filtering the blood of impurities, toxins and excess vitamins. When the kidneys work improperly due to kidney disease, more toxins circulate within the blood. The excess toxins affect the immune system, making a person more tired and sluggish. A person with kidney disease will become sick more often because the immune system is weakened.

Long-term dialysis does nothing for the failed kidneys so immune system will become more weaker with dialysis.
