Correlation of Interleukin-17-Producing Effector Memory T Cells and CD4+CD25+Foxp3 Regulatory T Cells with the Phosphate Levels in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients

Background and Objectives. Hyperparathyroidism and hyperphosphatemia contribute to the inflammatory effects in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients. Interleukin-17-producing CD4+ effector memory T (Th17) cells and CD4+CD25+Foxp3 regulatory T (Treg) cells both play critical roles in immune activation a...
