Immunohistochemical screening for neurochemical markers in uremic patients on maintenance hemodialysis

Skin Pharmacol. 1988;1(4):265-8. doi: 10.1159/000210785.

Abstract

The epidermis and dermis of 12 uremic patients on maintenance hemodialysis were investigated utilizing the indirect immunofluorescence technique as a tool to study the distribution of neurochemical markers, such as neuropeptides. No differences between controls and the patients were revealed.
