Dinucleoside polyphosphates (Np(n)N) have pathophysiologic roles in cardiovascular disease and are newly detected uraemic retention solutes. They were retrieved in human plasma, tissues and cells. Although their impact on several cell systems involved in vascular damage (endothelium, smooth muscle cells and thrombocytes) has been evaluated, their effect on different types of leucocytes has never been studied.
