The kinetics of the complement system in the early phase of HD. (A) The levels of the C5b-9 complex in plasma samples obtained from patients during HD at 0, 20, 60, 180 min and post-HD. Statistical significance was assessed between 0 and 60 min. ***P < 0.005. (B) The three functional complement pathway activities in serum samples obtained from patients during HD at 0, 15, 30 and 60 min. Statistical significance was assessed between 0 and 60 min. (C) The levels of C3a desArg and C5a desArg in serum samples were obtained from patients during HD at 0, 15, 30 and 60 min. *P < 0.05. Statistical significance was assessed between 0 and 60 min. All data are shown as the mean ± standard error. n = 5 for each group.
