Methods: Markers of INF, OS, antioxidant enzymes SOD and GSH-PX were measured in 66 patients with CKD (stage 1 to 5) and in 50 controls; Glomerular filtration (eGFR)calculated by MDRD or CKD-EPI formula. Serum creatinine(sCr), C reactive protein(CRP), interleukin-6(IL-6), MDA(malondialdehyde), SOD and GSH-PX were measured again after 9 months follow-up. Results: CRP, IL-6 and MDA significantly increased, and SOD and GSH-PX -decreased with development of CRF. GFR was inversely associated with MDA(P<0.05), and positively with SOD and GSH-PX (P < 0.02); (p<0.05). IL-6 and CRP were positively correlated with MDA(P < 0.01);(P<0.005) and negatively associated with SOD and GSH-PX (p < 0.05); (P<0.01).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
