Effect of hemodialysis on oxidants and antioxidant factors in chronic renal failure.

Effect of hemodialysis on oxidants and antioxidant factors in chronic renal failure. Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl. 2017 May-Jun;28(3):507-516 Authors: Tajbakhsh R, Qorbani M, Mehrpour G, Rahimzadeh M, Azimzadeh MM, Mirmiranpour H Abstract The current study was conducted to assess the effect of hemodialysis (HD) on the status of plasma oxidants and antioxidants among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). These parameters can have an influence on the HD process and can also be useful for follow-up of these patients. The participants of this cross-sectional study comprised 91 patients with a mean age of 51.1 ± 8.2 years on chronic HD with kt/v between 1.2 and 1.4. The etiology of ESRD in these patients was as follows: diabetes mellitus in 39, hypertension in 35, and glomerulonephritis in 17 patients. All patients were on maintenance treatment with phosphate binder, 1,25 Vitamin D, iron, and erythropoietin therapy as per the K/DOQI guidelines. They were selected by random method from Shahid Bahonar Hospital, Karaj, Iran. The height, weight, waist circumference (WC), and blood pressure were measured according to standardized protocols, and blood samples were obtained before and after HD. Blood samples were checked for advanced glycation end products, advanced oxidation protein product, malondialdehyde (MDA), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), and ferritin reducing ability of plasma, catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), s...
