Abstract
In 14 patients undergoing haemodialysis, lipoperoxidation (LPO) processes were determined in plasma and red blood cells (RBC) before and after a dialysis session by determining (a) the direct substrate, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA); (b) the end product of LPO, malondialdehyde (MDA); and (c) the hydrophobic antioxidant systems, vitamins A and E. In plasma before dialysis, linoleic and arachidonic acid, and the antioxidant vitamin E, were significantly lowered as compared to the healthy controls (p < 0.05). On the contrary, the free MDA level was enhanced (p < 0.05). These results were emphasized by a dialysis session. In RBC of these patients, no difference in linoleic acid, free MDA, or vitamin E level were observed before or after dialysis when compared to controls. However, only vitamin A was significantly higher in haemodialysis patients (before and after dialysis) and in renal failure patients (p < 0.05) than in the healthy control group. The present results suggest that increased RBC vitamin A may offer some degree of protection against oxidative stress in erythrocytes, but not in plasma where LPO is demonstrated.
