Oxidative stress, inflammation and cardiovascular mortality in haemodialysis—role of seniority and intravenous ferrotherapy: analysis at 4 years of follow-up

Abstract: Oxidative stress (oxLDL antibody titre) is one of the principal risk factors for cardiovascular mortality in this population of haemodialysis patients. Intravenous ferrotherapy, due to its pro-oxidant properties, probably favours oxidative stress. Serum concentration of CRP was not a good predictive factor of cardiovascular mortality during 4 years of follow-up, possibly because of the slight positive correlation that exists between CRP and age.

“…It has been shown that intravenous iron therapy in combination with erythropoietin favors the generation of potent prooxidant radicals, which could trigger the development of atherosclerosis. 32,33 However, recent data prove that in the absence of concomitant iron supplementation, erythropoietin therapy exerts no additional influence on endothelial cell damage and oxidative stress markers of HD patients. 34 Treatment of anemia during our study was based on erythropoietin administration and this solely does not seem to activate lipid peroxidation in dialyzed patients.…”

“…7,24,25 Um dos marcadores avaliado neste estudo foi a determinação do dano oxidativo aos lipídios, lipoperoxidação (LPO). A LPO tem-se mostrado envolvida na patogênese de doenças como aterosclerose e câncer, doenças comumente encontradas entre os pacientes renais crônicos que realizam HD.…”

“…The progression of atherosclerosis and PEW in such patients is accelerated by various factors, in particular oxidative stress and inflammation. Oxidative stress is closely associated with advancing atherosclerosis (2) and is a principal risk factor for cardiovascular mortality in patients on HD (3). Such patients develop uremic syndrome per se or factors associated with uremia and an excessively inflamed state with marked hypoalbuminemia (4).…”
