Abstract
Oxidative stress is a frequent condition in critically ill patients, especially if exposed to extracorporeal circulation, and it is associated with worse outcomes and increased mortality. The inflammation triggered by the contact of blood with a non-endogenous surface, the use of high volumes of packed red blood cells and platelets transfusion, the risk of hyperoxia and the impairment of antioxidation systems contribute to the increase of reactive oxygen species and the imbalance of the redox system. This is responsible for the increased production of superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radicals, and peroxynitrite resulting in increased lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and DNA damage. The understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms leading to redox imbalance would pave the way for the future development of preventive approaches. This review provides an overview of the clinical impact of the oxidative stress during neonatal extracorporeal support and concludes with a brief perspective on the current antioxidant strategies, with the aim to focus on the potential oxidative stress-mediated cell damage that has been implicated in both short and long-term outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Uncertainty has arisen as to whether vitamin supplements are needed by dialysis patients, in particular those treated by means of hemofiltration or hemodiafiltration using highly permeable (high-flux) filters. We therefore measured the concentrations of vitamin C, cobalamin (vitamin B12) and folic acid in conventional (low-flux) dialysis patients and in those receiving on-line treatment (hemofiltration or hemodiafiltration). MATERIAL AND METHODS Plasma (P-)ascorbate, serum (S-)cobalamin and S-folate concentrations were measured before and after a treatment session in 15 patients treated with low-flux hemodialysis and in 14 treated with on-line hemofiltration or hemodiafiltration. The patients' vitamin supplementations were also recorded. RESULTS P-ascorbate concentrations were lowered by 51% and 53% in the hemodialysis and on-line groups, respectively after treatment and this reduction was significant (p<0.001). Concentrations below the reference values were found in 12/14 patients not receiving vitamin C supplementation. S-cobalamin did not decrease in the hemodialysis or on-line groups. S-folates did not change significantly in the hemodialysis or filtration groups. Patients without folacin supplementation had low values. CONCLUSIONS P-ascorbate was reduced by both dialysis and filtration treatments. Neither S-cobalamin nor S-folate were reduced by dialysis or filtration treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemodialysis (HD) is thought to exacerbate oxidative stress (OS). The purpose of this study was to assess patients' oxidative status during and after HD, and to clarify the relation between oxidative status and antioxidant solutes such as uric acid (UA) and ascorbic acid (AsA). METHODS Serum diacron-reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROM), and biological antioxidant potential (BAP), as well as serum concentrations of UA, AsA, urea nitrogen (UN), and creatinine (Cre) were measured in eight HD patients at six time points during and after HD. Inflow and outflow dialyzer blood was evaluated during HD or sham HD (no dialysate flow). Further, BAP was evaluated by adding UA or AsA to post-HD serum. RESULTS No changes were found in d-ROM over time, whereas BAP was significantly decreased by HD. No differences were found in d-ROM during HD or sham HD, or between inflow and outflow blood. During HD, significantly lower BAP levels were found in outflow blood than in inflow blood. Serum UA and AsA levels were decreased by HD; however, no increases were observed in BAP levels after the addition of these molecules to post-HD serum. CONCLUSION These data indicate that HD reduces serum antioxidative capacity, and the loss of dialyzable molecules may be involved. However, this reduction in capacity does not seem to be caused by the loss of UA or AsA.

Abstract
The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the United States is growing at a remarkable speed. Herbal products and dietary supplements are CAM therapies that have grown faster than any other CAM treatments. Little information is available about herbs and dietary supplement use in the stage 5 chronic kidney disease population. These products contain a myriad of pharmacologically active compounds that, when used by people with kidney disease, may be hazardous. Members of the renal dietitian listserv were queried about herbs and dietary supplements reportedly used by dialysis patients. Up-to-date information on the use, safety, efficacy, adverse effects, and recommended dosages in the nondialysis population are presented for 24 products. In the dialysis population, Noni juice should be avoided because of its high potassium content. In addition, bulk-forming laxatives such as flaxseed should be used with caution because of the need for increased fluid intake. Dialysis practitioners should include specific questions about herbs and dietary supplement use in medical and nutrition histories, and they should increase their knowledge about these products to advise patients appropriately. A list of reliable sources of information for the health care provider on herbs and dietary supplements is also presented.

Abstract
End-stage renal disease patients have increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. These patients have many unique risk factors, such as an accumulation of uremic toxins, electrolyte imbalances, metabolic disturbances, anemia, chronic inflammation, and thrombogenic disturbances. Oxidative stress has been implicated in many of these disturbances. This review will focus on some of the factors that may accelerate cardiovascular disease in uremic patients, with an emphasis on mechanisms and interactions of various components of oxidative stress and inflammation. Understanding the mechanisms of these pathways may be useful in developing effective prevention and treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Novel classification nomenclature defining the type of malnutrition by the root cause of the hypoalbuminenia has been developing in the literature since 1999. As the classification of malnutrition became more definite in the literature, the need to assess the type of malnutrition, thereby the root cause(s) and initiate appropriate intervention(s), has become apparent. METHODS In September 1999, San Diego Dialysis began a continuous quality improvement (CQI) project to assess the root causes of hypoalbuminemia for patients with serum albumin level <3.5 g/dL. An extensive review of the literature was conducted on the subject of malnutrition, inflammation, and the acute-phase reaction. FINDINGS Two major groups of patients emerged: those consuming adequate protein and calories, yet presenting with hypoalbuminemia, and those suffering from a protein calorie deficit. Observation of the second group showed that although the monthly percentage of patients with hypoalbuminemia remained fairly constant, the names on the list changed from month to month. CONCLUSIONS The CQI team developed a protocol and a unique nomenclature to classify the types of malnutrition, type I, type IIa, type IIb, or mixed, by adapting the definitions in the literature through clinical practice. Interventions were developed to address each classification of malnutrition.

Abstract
Several small clinical studies have reported that serum vitamin A levels were higher but serum vitamin C levels were lower among patients with end-stage renal disease. However, the relationship of antioxidant vitamins to renal function has not been studied in the general population. We examined the relationship of serum antioxidant vitamin levels to serum creatinine levels and risk for hypercreatininemia in a representative sample of 6,629 non-Hispanic whites, 4,411 non-Hispanic blacks, and 4,480 Mexican Americans aged 18 years or older who participated in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Serum antioxidant vitamins were measured by isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography, and serum creatinine levels, by the modified kinetic Jaffé method. Serum vitamin A level was positively and significantly associated with serum creatinine level, whereas serum vitamin C level was inversely and significantly associated with serum creatinine level. A one-SD higher level of serum vitamin A (16.9 microg/dL) was associated with a 2.53-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.96 to 3.27; P < 0.001), 2.07-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.84 to 2.33; P < 0.001), and 2.76-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.74 to 4.37; P < 0.001) greater risk for hypercreatininemia among non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Mexican Americans, respectively. A one-SD higher serum vitamin C level (0.45 mg/dL) was associated with a 22% (95% confidence interval, 0.06 to 0.35; P = 0.01) and 42% (95% confidence interval, 0.08 to 0.62; P = 0.02) lower risk for hypercreatininemia in non-Hispanic whites and Mexican Americans. Our study provides useful information to support the hypothesis that antioxidant vitamins may have an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic renal failure.

Abstract
Patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis (HD) exhibit increased levels of oxidative stress, likely contributing to the increased rate of cardiovascular disease. The present study represents a critical evaluation of some of the most widely used oxidative indicators, as applied to the monitoring of hemodialysis-associated oxidative stress. Total plasma antioxidant capacity was determined by two independent procedures, the total antioxidant status (TAS) and the ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) methods. Plasma lipid peroxidation was assessed by determining the peroxidation products malonaldehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal (MDA-4HNE) as well as lipid hydroperoxides ("Fox-2" and "d-ROMs" methods). Total plasma thiols and plasma alpha-tocopherol were also determined. MDA-4HNE levels were higher in HD patients and decreased following HD, possibly due to passive diffusion across dialysis filters. d-ROMs were also higher in HD patients but exhibited a further increase following the dialysis procedure. Serum alpha-tocopherol did not show any significant differences. Plasma thiols were lower in HD patients and were restored following HD. Plasma total antioxidant capacity determined with either method was unexpectedly higher in HD patients compared to controls, and decreased following HD. These data indicate that, of the biomarkers studied, d-ROMs level is the one more accurately reflecting the oxidative alterations taking place in HD patients, while determination of MDA-4HNE fails to detect oxidation occurring during the HD sessions. In addition, our findings point out that the determination of total antioxidant capacity in HD patients is severely affected by the concomitant fluctuations in plasma urate levels and therefore needs careful interpretation.

Abstract
Hemodialysis deteriorates oxidative stress. Vitamin E is an antioxidant whose regeneration is provided for by vitamin C. The authors tested the effects of a vitamin E-modified membrane (E), nonmodified cellulose membrane (O), and vitamin C infusion (500 mg, C) into the arterial blood line during dialysis on parameters of oxidative stress. In a short-term study, 24 patients were subjected to a single dialysis session with E, O, E with C, and O with C protocols. In a long-term study (12 weeks), 20 patients were randomized into groups with C and without C on each dialysis, and both groups had dialysis using O, E, and again O membrane for 4 weeks each. In the short-term study, thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) in plasma rose after dialysis (p < 0.02) with O, and no changes were observed in the other 3 protocols. In the long-term study, predialysis TBARS declined when using E both in the groups with C (p < 0.02) and without C (p < 0.05). A switch over to O resulted in TBARS returning to baseline levels. The E membrane prevented an increase in lipid peroxidation during single dialysis, and long-term use of the E membrane also resulted in a decrease in the predialysis lipid peroxidation level. The antioxidant capacity of the E membrane was not enhanced by vitamin C infusion. High doses of vitamin C administered during dialysis using a nonmodified cellulose membrane prevented an increase in lipid peroxidation, most probably due to the enhanced rate of endogenous vitamin E regeneration.

Abstract
Albumin has been considered a "sacrificial plasma antioxidant" due to the high reactivity of the protein sulfhydryl groups with oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Based on its large quantity and high turnover. It is considered as one of the most important plasma antioxidants for protecting key cellular and regulatory proteins. Since hemodialysis patients have lower overall levels of albumin and possible protein modifications due to uremic toxins, we investigated whether modifications by various uremic toxins would affect the susceptibility of albumin to an oxidative challenge. We incubated bovine serum albumin in the presence of carboxymethyllysine (CML) (10 micromol/L(-1) mmol/L), methyl glyoxal (50 micromol/L(-5) mmol/L), p-cresol (100 micromol/L-10 mmol/L) or hippuric acid (200 micromol/L-20 mmol/L) for 16 hours at 37 degrees C and then subsequently added 0.5 mmol/L(-1) mmol of H2O2/HOCl. We measured the extent of protein modification by the loss of protein sulfhydryl groups, dityrosine formation and the formation of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP). Incubation of albumin with the uremic toxins caused a loss of protein sulfhydryl groups and an increase in dityrosines and AOPP. The presence of uremic toxins had no effect on the loss of protein sulfhydryl groups after addition of H2O2/HOCl; however, low levels of CML, p-cresol and methyl glyoxal inhibited the formation of AOPP and dityrosines. We suggest that uremic toxins may possibly play a role in mediating free radical initiated protein damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on long-term hemodialysis (HD) may be under increased oxidative stress, caused by either HD or renal failure. Plasma F2-isoprostanes have been established as an important indicator of in vivo oxidative stress. METHODS Plasma esterified F2-isoprostanes were measured in 25 HD patients and 23 controls with normal renal function, employing gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with negative chemical ionization (GC-MS-NCI). C-reactive protein (CRP) was determined concurrently in patients and controls by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). alpha-Tocopherol, retinol, albumin and creatinine were also determined. RESULTS The average total esterified F2-isoprostanes in the ESRD patients was 1.62 +/- 0.73 vs. 0.27 +/- 0.10 ng/mL in controls (P < 0.001), with no overlap between patients and controls. Plasma F2-isoprostanes in diabetic ESRD patients were similar to F2-isoprostanes in patients with other causes for renal failure. In a subset of 10 of these ESRD patients evaluated eight months after the initial measurement, plasma-esterified F2-isoprostanes were not altered by an individual dialysis session. Average plasma CRP values were also higher in HD patients (P < 0.02), but some patients had CRP values that were similar to controls. In the HD patients, total plasma F2-isoprostanes and plasma CRP were correlated (r = 0.48, P = 0.015). Plasma alpha-tocopherol did not differ between patients and controls, but plasma retinol was higher in patients (3.15 +/- 1.71 micromol/L) than in controls (1.97 +/- 0.51 micromol/L, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These results are consistent with the hypothesis that oxidative stress in ESRD patients contributes to increased values of esterified plasma F2-isoprostanes, with concurrent increases in plasma CRP levels in some patients. Impaired clearance of esterified F2-isoprostanes may contribute to the elevated levels in renal failure. Plasma esterified F2-isoprostanes may be a useful indicator to evaluate effectiveness of interventions to decrease oxidative stress and associated inflammation.

Abstract
Uremic patients undergoing hemodialysis often have increased oxidant stress and accumulation of uremic toxins. Hemodialysis, per se, often can exacerbate oxidant stress and may be inefficient at removing hydrophobic or protein bound toxins. We describe a new hemodialytic method that incorporates liposomes and antioxidants to remove hydrophobic/uremic toxins and minimize free radical mediated damage. In vitro experiments measured advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), malonaldehyde, reactive carbonyls, and the removal of platelet activating factor (PAF) and bilirubin during extracorporeal circulation with or without liposomes. We observed a significant reduction of oxidation products as well as a significant removal of PAF and bilirubin compared to normal hemodialysis.

Abstract
Oxidant stress has been implicated in a number of pathologies associated with uremia and hemodialysis. These patients have an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, amyloidosis associated with protein modification, and notable changes in both function and structure of many cellular components. Oxidative reactions most frequently involving free radical intermediates play an important role in these processes and participate both directly and indirectly by further amplification of the inflammatory responses or in activation of signaling cascades mediating proliferation, differentiation, and cell death. Proteins and lipids are susceptible to oxidative degradation. These changes can ultimately alter important structural and functional characteristics and lead to pathological changes. This article addresses some of the diverse mechanisms and pathways involved in these changes, and suggests new therapeutic strategies in preventing oxidative damage.
