Convective and diffusive losses of vitamin C during haemodiafiltration session: a contributive factor to oxidative stress in haemodialysis patients

Abstract: These results suggest that HDF with highly permeable membranes is associated with a significant loss of vit C. Diffusive transport is responsible for two-thirds whereas convective phenomenon accounts for only one-third of this loss.

“…The lack of an overall beneficial effect of hemodiafiltration on survival might be explained by several factors. First, the positive effect of an increased removal of uremic toxins might be counteracted by the simultaneous loss of essential substances, 14 and/or undesirable side effects of the treatment itself. 15 Second, although the Kaplan-Meier curves did not even show a trend for a better outcome, the intervention period (mean 3.04 years) may have been too short for an effect on survival.…”

“…It is known that the increasing OS in patients with CRF on HD can be an aggravating factor in the development of atherosclerosis, which is responsible for the high rate of morbidity and mortality among these patients [18]. OS is usually associated with inflammation in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in injured tissues, such as the inflammation related to reacting to invading microorganisms [19].…”

“…Of course, the same is also true for oral ascorbate therapy. Subclinical vitamin C deficiency is frequently encountered in chronic HD patients as a result of insufficient intake from diet (33) and loss during dialytic procedures (34). Tissue concentration of ascorbic acid is further decreased in HD patients, perhaps as a result of increased vitamin oxidation catalyzed by the exaggerated oxidative stress and iron-overloaded states (35,36).…”
