Oxidative Stress in Patients Undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis: A Current Review of the Literature. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2017; 2017:3494867. [PMID: 29750088 PMCID: PMC5892210 DOI: 10.1155/2017/3494867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 52] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2017] [Revised: 11/15/2017] [Accepted: 12/11/2017] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients manifest excessive oxidative stress (OS) compared to the general population and predialysis chronic kidney disease patients, mainly due to the composition of the PD solution (high-glucose content, low pH, elevated osmolality, increased lactate concentration and glucose degradation products). However, PD could be considered a more biocompatible form of dialysis compared to hemodialysis (HD), since several studies showed that the latter results in an excess accumulation of oxidative products and loss of antioxidants. OS in PD is tightly linked with chronic inflammation, atherogenesis, peritoneal fibrosis, and loss of residual renal function. Although exogenous supplementation of antioxidants, such as vitamins E and C, N-acetylcysteine, and carotenoids, in some cases showed potential beneficial effects in PD patients, relevant recommendations have not been yet adopted in everyday clinical practice.

Systemic Redox Imbalance in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2016; 2016:8598253. [PMID: 27563376 PMCID: PMC4987477 DOI: 10.1155/2016/8598253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 55] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2016] [Revised: 05/31/2016] [Accepted: 06/07/2016] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) experience imbalance between oxygen reactive species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses leading to cell and tissue damage. However, it remains unclear at which stage of renal insufficiency the redox imbalance becomes more profound. The aim of this systematic review was to provide an update on recent advances in our understanding of how the redox status changes in the progression of renal disease from predialysis stages 1 to 4 to end stage 5 and whether the various treatments and dialysis modalities influence the redox balance. A systematic review was conducted searching PubMed and Scopus by using the Cochrane and PRISMA guidelines. In total, thirty-nine studies met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Even from an early stage, imbalance in redox status is evident and as the kidney function worsens it becomes more profound. Hemodialysis therapy per se seems to negatively influence the redox status by the elevation of lipid peroxidation markers, protein carbonylation, and impairing erythrocyte antioxidant defense. However, other dialysis modalities do not so far appear to confer advantages. Supplementation with antioxidants might assist and should be considered as an early intervention to halt premature atherogenesis development at an early stage of CKD.

Abstract
The indolamine melatonin (MEL) is described as an antioxidant and a free radical scavenger. However occasionally, the indoleamine has been reported to increase free radicals with insufficient mechanistic explanation. In an attempt to find a reason for those controversial results, a potential mechanism that explains MEL prooxidant activity is investigated. The current controversy about redox detection methods has prompted us to search a possible interaction between MEL and dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCFH2), perhaps the most widely fluorescence probe employed for free radicals detection in cellular models. Here, it is demonstrated that melatonin potentiates the photooxidation of DCFH2 in a cell-free system, increasing the production of its fluorescent metabolite. Indeed, MEL works as an antioxidant scavenging hydroxyl radicals in this system. Thus, this reaction between MEL and DCFH2 produces N1-acetyl-N2-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AFMK), a biogenic amine with antioxidant properties too. This reaction is O2 and light dependent and it is prevented by antioxidants such as N-acetylcysteine or ascorbic acid. Furthermore, when DCFH2 has been employed to evaluate antioxidant or prooxidant activities of MEL in cellular models it is confirmed that it works as an antioxidant but these results can be modulated by light misleading to a prooxidant conclusion. In conclusion, here is demonstrated that DCFH2, light and melatonin interact and results obtained using these fluorescence probes in studies with melatonin have to be carefully interpreted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment with selective vitamin D receptor activators such as paricalcitol have been shown to exert an anti-inflammatory effect in patients on hemodialysis, in addition to their action on mineral metabolism and independently of parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. The objective of this study was to evaluate the additional antioxidant capacity of paricalcitol in a clinical setting. METHODS The study included 19 patients with renal disease on hemodialysis, of whom peripheral blood was obtained for analysis at baseline and three months after starting intravenous paricalcitol treatment. The following oxidizing and inflammatory markers were quantified: malondialdehyde (MDA), nitrites and carbonyl groups, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), tumor necrosis factor alfa (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-18 (IL-18) and C-reactive protein (CRP). Of the antioxidants and anti-inflammatory markers, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, reduced glutathione (GSH), thioredoxin, and interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels were obtained. RESULTS Baseline levels of oxidation markers MDA, nitric oxide and protein carbonyl groups significantly decreased after three months on paricalcitol treatment, while levels of GSH, thioredoxin, catalase and SOD activity significantly increased. After paricalcitol treatment, levels of the inflammatory markers CRP, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-18 were significantly reduced in serum and the level of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was increased. CONCLUSIONS In renal patients undergoing hemodialysis, paricalcitol treatment significantly reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, two well known factors leading to cardiovascular damage.

Abstract
Aβ2M (β2-microglobulin-related) amyloidosis is a frequent and serious complication in patients on long-term dialysis. Partial unfolding of β2-m (β2-microglobulin) may be essential to its assembly into Aβ2M amyloid fibrils in vivo. Although SDS around the critical micelle concentration induces partial unfolding of β2-m to an α-helix-containing aggregation-prone amyloidogenic conformer and subsequent amyloid fibril formation in vitro, the biological molecules with similar activity under near-physiological conditions are still unknown. The effect of various NEFAs (non-esterified fatty acids), which are representative anionic amphipathic compounds in the circulation, on the growth of Aβ2M amyloid fibrils at a neutral pH was examined using fluorescence spectroscopy with thioflavin T, CD spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. Physiologically relevant concentrations of laurate, myristate, oleate, linoleate, and mixtures of palmitate, stearate, oleate and linoleate, induced the growth of fibrils at a neutral pH by partially unfolding the compact structure of β2-m to an aggregation-prone amyloidogenic conformer. In the presence of human serum albumin, these NEFAs also induced the growth of fibrils when their concentrations exceeded the binding capacity of albumin, indicating that the unbound NEFAs rather than albumin-bound NEFAs induce the fibril growth reaction in vitro. These results suggest the involvement of NEFAs in the development of Aβ2M amyloidosis, and in the pathogenesis of Aβ2M amyloidosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate oxidative stress with regard to the concentrations of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), pentosidine, glycated albumin, reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), glutathione redox ratios and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) in non-diabetic patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). METHODS The study group consisted of 52 non-diabetic CAPD patients and 34 healthy controls. AOPP, AGEs, pentosidine and glycated albumin were measured in plasma, whereas GSH, GSSG and TBARS concentrations were measured in erythrocytes of both patients and controls. RESULTS All parameters were found to be significantly increased, except the glutathione redox ratio, which was found to be decreased in patients undergoing CAPD. Multiple regression analysis showed that AGEs were the only independent predictor of glutathione redox ratio, whereas AGEs, glycated albumin and TBARS were each found to be independent predictors of albumin concentration. CONCLUSION Our results support the hypothesis that oxidative stress and AOPPs/AGEs constitute important risk factors in CAPD patients. The negative relationship between albumin and both AGEs and TBARS suggests that the decrease in albumin may contribute to the increased advanced glycation and lipid peroxidation. The negative relationship between glutathione redox ratio and AGEs suggests that late products of glycation play an important role in the development of oxidative stress observed in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Increased oxidative stress in chronic kidney disease (CKD) was suggested to be both a cause and an effect of renal injury. However, the evolution of oxidant stress from early stages of renal function decline is not fully clear. This study aimed to determine the oxidant-antioxidant balance across the whole range of renal function. METHODS A total of 116 patients with CKD (85 predialysis patients divided into groups according to CKD stage, and 31 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis treatment), as well as 29 healthy subjects were evaluated. Plasma levels of 15-F(2t)-isoprostane (15-F(2t)-IsoP), a valid marker of oxidant stress, as well as total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and serum levels of vitamin E were measured in all participants. RESULTS Plasma 15-F(2t)-IsoP levels were higher in predialysis and ESRD patients compared to healthy subjects and were progressively increasing with advancing CKD stages (p < 0.001). In contrast, plasma TAC was similar between healthy subjects and predialysis patients, and presented a small reduction in ESRD patients (p < 0.001). Vitamin E levels were higher in healthy subjects compared to any other group (p < 0.001) and slightly higher in ESRD patients compared to predialysis patients (p < 0.01), but did not differ significantly between the groups of predialysis patients. Plasma 15-F(2t)-IsoP levels were inversely correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate in predialysis patients (r = -0.65, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that 15-F(2t)-IsoP levels increase progressively with advancing CKD stages, whereas TAC and vitamin E levels remain rather stable with the loss of renal function and change only in patients with ESRD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study was undertaken to clarify the role of the impaired renal function and the dialysis therapy on plasma levels of proatherogenic cytokines and Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD)--as a marker of oxidative stress (SOX) in uraemia. DESIGN AND METHODS We have measured the levels of Cu/Zn SOD, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) macrophage inflammatory proteins (MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the plasma of predialysis (CRF) (n=42), on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) (n=25) or peritoneal dialysis (PD) (n=45) patients and in the healthy volunteers (n=20). RESULTS The increase in Cu/Zn SOD levels was in PD and HD patients compared to controls (215.56+/-125.18 and 356.28+/-122.57 versus 53.53+/-23.65 ng/ml, respectively). In plasma of the CRF, PD and HD subjects we have also observed the significant increase in the levels of MIP-1beta: [31.5 (2-149), 33.0 (1-203) and 76.0 (9-345), respectively]; MCP-1 (616.50+/-240.15, 943.64+/-348.99 and 968.50+/-355.85, respectively) and VEGF (387.93+/-184.63, 371.56+/-125.18 and 645.56+/-136.30, respectively) compared to healthy people. In the predialysis group, creatinine clearance correlated with Cu/Zn SOD and cytokine levels. Moreover, the cytokine levels were also associated with age. In dialysis patients, the correlations were between duration of dialysis treatment and both Cu/Zn SOD and cytokine levels. There was also a direct relationship between Cu/Zn SOD and both MIP-1beta and VEGF levels. CONCLUSIONS This study has shown that impaired renal function, age and duration of dialysis treatment are associated with increased oxidative stress and proatherogenic cytokine levels in uremic patients.

Abstract
Patients with advanced chronic renal disease (CRD) suffer from excessive morbidity and mortality due to complications of accelerated atherosclerosis. Approximately 90% of dialysis-dependent end stage renal disease patients suffer from anemia. Recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) in combination with iron has become widely used to treat anemic CRD patients. While treatment with EPO results in improved quality of life it may also contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. Recent studies suggest that a reduction in nitric oxide (NO) availability may be linked to EPO-induced vascular dysfunction. Furthermore, CRD per se is thought to result in a state of NO deficiency. The present study suggests that EPO may exert proatherogenic activity by augmenting the cytokine-induced expression of monocyte-chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and by stimulating the proliferation of HUVECs and human vascular smooth muscle cells (HVSMCs). Augmentation of MCP-1 expression appears to be linked to EPO-induced downregulation of endothelial NO synthase (ecNOS). NO released from a series of synthetic donor compounds suppressed the EPO-mediated augmentation of cytokine-induced MCP-1 expression. In vitro studies revealed that EPO reduces ecNOS expression at both the protein and mRNA levels and that EPO also mediates a reduction in ecNOS enzymatic activity. These observations suggest potential mechanisms through which EPO may contribute to the development of accelerated atherosclerosis, particularly in the setting of CRD where NO availability may already be compromised.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We wanted to study the imbalance between antioxidant and oxidant generating systems resulting in oxidative stress (SOX) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We suggest that the plasma levels of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) may be a new, sensitive marker of SOX in this population. DESIGN AND METHODS We measured the levels of Cu/Zn SOD and the traditional SOX markers-malondialdehyde (MDA), total peroxide, and autoantibodies against oxidized LDL (OxLDL-Ab) in the plasma of 132 uremic patients. In addition, circulating enzyme levels were analyzed in relation to the inflammation and presence of diabetes mellitus (DM). RESULTS Cu/Zn SOD levels were significantly higher in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients (P < 0.05), and in both dialyzed groups (both P < 0.001) than in controls, and were positively correlated with MDA, creatinine (both P < 0.001) and OxLDL-Ab (P < 0.01) in the whole uremic group. CONCLUSIONS The plasma levels of Cu/Zn SOD may be a simple, sensitive marker of SOX in ESRD, independent from DM and inflammation.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the most frequent cause of death in patients with end-stage renal disease who have undergone dialysis treatment. Oxidative stress, increased lipid peroxidation, and impaired function of antioxidant systems may contribute to the accelerated development of atherosclerosis in chronic renal failure patients during renal replacement therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of a vitamin E-coated dialyzer on antioxidant defense parameters in hemodialysis (HD) patients. In 14 HD patients, hemodialysis was performed using a vitamin E-coated dialyzer (Terumo CL-E15NL; Terumo Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) during a 3-month study. In these patients, erythrocyte (ER) antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione reductase (GR) and catalase (CAT), plasma total antioxidant capacity (TAC), RBC glutathione (GSH), plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), plasma, and RBC vitamin E were investigated. Each parameter was measured at the beginning of the study, after the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd month of the study, and 10 weeks after the interruption of the use of vitamin E-coated dialyzer. All HD patients were treated by erythropoietin (EPO) and received vitamin C 50 mg/d, pyridoxine 20 mg/d, and folic acid 5 mg/wk during the entire study. The 3-month treatment with the vitamin E-coated dialyzer led to a significant decrease of plasma MDA level (from 2.85 +/- 0.44 to 2.25 +/- 0.37 micromol/L) and to an increase of plasma TAC, RBC, GSH, and the vitamin E levels both in plasma (from 25.9 +/- 2.8 to 33.6 +/- 3.8 micromol/L) and in the RBCs (from 6.7 +/- 0.8 to 7.4 +/- 0.7 micromol/L) by 30% and 10.5%, respectively. Ten-week interruption of the use of the vitamin E-coated dialyzer led to near initial values of MDA (2.90 +/- 0.28 micromol/L), plasma (28.6 +/- 3.5 micromol/L), and RBC (6.9 +/- 0.7 micromol/L) vitamin E and of other investigated parameters. Statistical analysis of results was performed by conventional methods and analysis of variance. The findings of the current study confirm the beneficial effect of the vitamin E-coated dialyzer against oxidative stress in HD patients.

Abstract
In patients with chronic renal failure undergoing regular hemodialysis (HD), oxidative stress is involved in the development of dialysis-related pathologies. The aim of the study was to measure the effect of HD treatment on the general antioxidative status of serum with special consideration of the specific oxidizability of lipids and proteins. Indicators for the oxidative/antioxidative status of plasma were monitored at the beginning and at the end of a dialysis session on the arterial and venous side of the dialyzer. A decrease in the antioxidant status was accompanied by an increased oxidizability of proteins as well as lipids during HD treatment. During the first passage of the dialyzer, the lag time of lipid oxidation decreased from 114.0+/-19.8 to 81.5+/-18.9 min, the lag time of protein oxidation decreased from 105.0+/-24.6 to 72.9+/-21.3 min and the total antioxidative status decreased from 518+/-24 to 252+/-124 microM trolox equivalents. The carbonyl content of serum proteins was high in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) (3.9+/-1.1 vs. 0.9+/-0.1 nmol/mg in controls) but did not change significantly during dialysis procedure. Our data demonstrate that the susceptibility of serum lipids and proteins to oxidative modification is severely increased by HD treatment.

Abstract
This study focuses on the extent of oxidative DNA damage in peripheral blood leukocytes of chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD) patients. 8-Hydroxy 2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) contents in peripheral leukocyte DNA were measured by an HPLC-electrochemical detection method in 24 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects, 22 nondialyzed patients with advanced renal failure, and 42 CPD patients. Mean 8-OHdG content was the highest in CPD patients, followed by the nondialyzed patients, and then by the healthy subjects (19.4 versus 11.9 versus 8.3/10(6) dG; ANOVA P < 0.001). In nondialyzed subjects, peripheral leukocyte 8-OHdG contents inversely correlated with renal creatinine clearance (r = -0.772; P < 0.001). Deficiency of blood antioxidants in CPD and nondialyzed patients was expressed by the lower plasma levels of ascorbate, cholesterol-standardized alpha-tocopherol and whole-blood reduced glutathione, and the higher levels of whole-blood oxidized glutathione as compared with healthy subjects (ANOVA P < 0.05). Mean serum ferritin and iron levels and transferrin saturation were higher in the CPD patients than those in the nondialyzed patients and controls (ANOVA P < 0.05). Flow cytometric analyses of intracellular reactive oxygen species production of peripheral leukocytes showed that spontaneous production by granulocytes, as well as phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA)-induced production by granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes, were the highest from CPD patients, followed by nondialyzed patients, and then by the healthy subjects (ANOVA P < 0.05). Forward stepwise multiple regression disclosed that uremia, PD treatment, spontaneous and PMA-induced reactive oxygen species production in leukocytes, and serum iron were the independent determinants of peripheral leukocyte 8-OHdG content (R(2) = 0.769; P < 0.001). In conclusion, profound increased 8-OHdG levels in peripheral leukocyte DNA occur in the course of chronic renal failure, gradually increase with its progression, and are further exacerbated by PD treatment.

Abstract
Oxidative stress, increased lipid peroxidation and decreased activity of antioxidant systems may contribute to the accelerated development of atherosclerosis in chronic renal failure patients during renal replacement therapy. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of vitamin E (400 mg/day) on some antioxidant defense parameters in CAPD patients. In fourteen CAPD patients, erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and catalase (CAT), the concentration of plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E were investigated. The study was divided into two periods. Each period lasted six weeks. In the first period patients received orally vitamin E 400 mg/day, in the second period they did not receive vitamin E or other antioxidant drugs. Each parameter was determined at the beginning of the study and at the end of each period. Six CAPD patients were treated by erythropoietin (EPO) and received orally pyridoxine 20 mg/day and the others without EPO treatment received pyridoxine 5 mg/day. Six-week treatment by vitamin E (400 mg/day) led to the significant increase of serum vitamin E (from 33.6+/-9.0 to 49.3+/-15.5 micromol/L) and to the significant decrease of MDA (from 2.62+/-0.5 to 2.36+/-0.4 micromol/L). The mean values of erythrocyte enzymes were in or under the lower margin of normal range and were not influenced by vitamin E in CAPD patients. The results of our study showed that orally administered vitamin E is a very important antioxidant agent for CAPD patients.

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
Cardiovascular disease mortality is high in children on maintenance dialysis, accounting for about 25% of patient deaths. Cardiovascular-related mortality rates for children on dialysis are higher than for children with successful kidney transplants. Data on the long-term consequences of risk factors for cardiovascular disease are lacking for pediatric end-stage renal disease patients. This article reviews pediatric data pertaining to the following risk factors: anemia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, left ventricular hypertrophy, abnormal calcium-phosphorus metabolism, and hyperhomocysteinemia. The potential relationship of end-stage renal disease to the etiology of several functional disorders of the cardiovascular system is discussed. Clinical studies are needed to assess the prevalence of cardiovascular disease and of cardiovascular disease risk factors in the pediatric end-stage renal disease population. Possible preventive and therapeutic guidelines need to be developed for at-risk children on maintenance dialysis.

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.
