Luminol-dependent chemiluminescence of resting and opsonized zymosan-activated neutrophils isolated from the peripheral blood was determined in 10 chronic uremic patients during early period of hemodialysis without verapamil or preceded by verapamil injection. Verapamil was found to diminish depress...
