Oxidative Stress Markers and C-Reactive Protein in Pediatric Patients on Hemodialysis

Abstract: Background: Pediatric patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD) are exposed to oxidative stress associated with an impairment of antioxidant defense and an overproduction of oxidative stress markers. Oxidative stress plays a significant role in the development of inflammation in these patients. Objectives: The high incidence of cardiovascular disease in HD pediatric patients is now well established and the involvement of oxidative stress has been hypothesized. This study focuses on a c… Show more

“…Animal experiments have demonstrated that administration of an antioxidant and plasma peroxidation inhibitor to 5/6 nephrectomy rats with increased plasma markers of oxidative stress partially attenuates HTN, and that HTN recurs in the absence of the inhibitor [45]. Pediatric ESRD patients have increased levels of plasma markers of oxidative stress compared to healthy controls, which is consistent with findings in adults [46]. There is no data demonstrating the relationship between ROS and BP in the pediatric ESRD population.…”

“…4 In addition, the circulating biomarkers of oxidative stress and chronic inflammatory cytokines such as malondialdehyde (MDA), C-reactive protein (CRP) or interleukin-6 (IL-6) are significantly elevated in maintenance HD patients. 5,6 There is increasing evidence that increased oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines play a key role in the pathogenesis of malnutrition, 7 resistance to erythropoietin, 8 …”

“…Hemodialysis (HD) patients have a higher oxidative state, which results in the reduction of total antioxidant capacity and increased inflammation . HD patients experience numerous complications such as atherosclerosis and malnutrition, which may partly result from excess reactive oxygen species and/or decreased antioxidant activity . There is growing evidence from experimental and clinical studies that oxidative stress may be involved in the pathogenesis of malnutrition .…”

“…[3][4][5][6] HD patients experience numerous complications such as atherosclerosis and malnutrition, which may partly result from excess reactive oxygen species and/or decreased antioxidant activity. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] There is growing evidence from experimental and clinical studies that oxidative stress may be involved in the pathogenesis of malnutrition. 9,12 Malnutrition, which is a significant adverse risk factor for poor patient prognosis, is associated with surrogate markers of oxidative stress.…”
