The Relationship between the Antioxidant System and Anaemia in Haemodialysis Patients

Abstract: Anaemia and oxidative stress are common features of chronic kidney disease, and both are associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality. There is growing evidence, from experimental and clinical studies, that oxidative stress may be implicated in the pathogenesis of anaemia. This study investigated the relationship between total antioxidant capacity, anaemia and serum albumin levels in 127 non-diabetic patients requiring haemodialysis. Total serum antioxidant capacity levels were determined and were f… Show more

“…The eSS rats had also a significantly lower number of white cells than in controls. Differential count also showed a pattern of lymphopenia and neutrophilia as was reported in critically ill hyperglycemic patients [25,26]. These white blood cell changes possibly contribute to the increased susceptibility to infection reported for the eSS rats [27].…”

“…ESRD patients on maintenance HD treatment are under the risk of increased oxidative stress caused by several mechanisms, as previously outlined. While uremia is capable of inducing oxidative stress, anemia amplifies it 17,18. The mechanisms by which anemia contributes to oxidative stress are not fully understood, but factors such as hypoxia, peroxidation of lipids in the erythrocyte membrane that reduce their life span 19 and altered catecholamine metabolism may play a significant role.…”

“…Accumulation of uremic toxins [2], bioincompatibility of the dialyzer's membrane [3], depletion of low molecular antioxidants, in the first place ascorbic acid, during the hemodialysis session [4], and excessive and indiscriminate use of intravenous iron preparations [5] have been described as the main factors which cause oxidative stress in the chronically hemodialyzed patients. There is a large body of evidence that the prooxidant state of the chronically hemodialyzed patients is associated with cardiovascular disease [68], renal anemia [9, 10], and mineral and bone disorders [11], which largely contribute to their increased morbidity and mortality.…”
