Regional Variations of Low-Density Lipoprotein Oxidizability in Hemodialysis Patients May Explain Discrepancies in Interventional Therapy on Oxidative Profile

Abstract: Background/Aims: This study aimed at evaluating oxidative stress (OS) markers (i) in a cross-sectional study of hemodialysis (HD) patients to investigate potential regional effects of these markers and (ii) in a prospective crossover study to evaluate vitamin E-coated membrane (VE) effects. Methods: At baseline, OS parameters including low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidizability were measured in HD patients from five dialysis facilities. Patients were then randomly assigned to two treatment groups: group I pat… Show more

“…A meta-analysis of 10 studies [11,31,48,51,58,64,66,68,70,71] indicated that ViE-m did not influence triglycerides levels (307 patients; MD 4.00 mg/dl; 95% CI -5.41 to 13.41, chi 2 = 2.99, p = 0.96; I 2 = 0%; fig. 11 a).…”

“…Another small randomized study [102], however, failed to observe a different extent of LDL oxidizability in patients treated for 3 months with vitamin E-coated membranes that were compared with perspective crossover design to reference PS membrane. At the same time, however, the authors reported for this multicenter study that LDL oxidizability showed marked intercenter (or regional) variability, which may suggest the introduction of local biases in the selection of patients and treatments.…”
