Neutrophil and its major receptors. Neutrophil can express CXCR1, CXCR2, FcR and other a variety of chemokine receptors, which may combine with the corresponding ligands, and further participate in local and systemic inflammatory damage and repair. IP-10, interferon-inducible protein-10; Mig, monokine induced by the interferon-gamma.

The main process of hemodialysis and its activation on neutrophils and mononuclear macrophages. When multiple toxic metabolites in the blood stream were filtered by hemodialyzer, the activity of neutrophils and mononuclear macrophages in the circulation gradually increased.
