Abstract
This work was calTied out on 10 healthy volunteers who served as a control group (Ol), and 50 patients with chronic renal failure. The uremic patients were divided into 5 groups, each consisted of 10 patients. Group 2 (02) comprised patients with negative HBsAg. Oroup 3 (03) comprised patients treated with conservative measures who are chronic healthy carrier for HBsAg. Group 4 (04) comprised patients treated with conservative meaSUl'es who suffered from chronic active hepatitis due to HBV infection. Group 5 (G5) comprised dialyzed patients who are chronic healthy canier for HBsAg. Group 6 (06) comprised dialyzed patients who suffered from chronic active hepatitis due to HBV infection. The following laboratory investigations were performed to all jects: complete blood picture, counting ofT-lymphocytes, HBsAg, urea, serum creatinine, serum bilirubin and serum transaminases. Diagnosis of chronic active hepatitis wa..;; confil1ned by liver bIopsy. OUf study showed that chronic renal failure as well as haemodialysis decreased significantly b0¥I total lymphocytic count and absolute T-cell count.
