Abstract
Altered cellular immunity complicating chronic uraemia includes lymphocytopenia, thymic atrophy, impaired allograft rejection and delayed hypersensitivity in skin tests, diminished appearances of lymphocytes on skin windows, and shortened in vitro survival of uraemic lymphocytes. Studies were undertaken to further characterize these lymphocyte defects.
