Bacterial-derived DNA fragments (BDNAs) have been shown to be present in dialysis fluid, to pass through dialyzer membranes, and to induce IL-6 (IL-6) in mononuclear cells. The present study aimed at assessing the eventual presence of BDNAs in the blood of hemodialysis (HD) patients and if this is associated with markers of chronic inflammation.
