Reliability of Malondialdehyde Measurements as a Marker of Oxidative Stress in Pediatrics

We read with interest a recent article1 reporting the variations in serum malondialdehyde (MDA), S100B, and advanced oxidation protein products in hyperbilirubinemia and healthy controls. Sarici et  al1 found significant increases in MDA levels in affected cases as compared with the control group and also reported a significant change after intensive phototherapy. The authors1 mentioned MDA as one of the most frequently used indicators of lipid peroxidation and clearly discussed numerous cont roversial findings from the literature.
