We described previously that in the erythrocytes and mononuclear blood cells from uremic patients on chronic hemodialysis, the membrane concentrations of malonyldialdehyde (MDA), resulting from peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the membrane itself increased, and the concentrations of vitamin E (VIT E), the major antioxidizing agent, were lower. In the present study we analysed whether similar oxidative damage is seen in the serum from hemodialysis patients and whether the serum fatty acid pattern is affected.

Abstract

We described previously that in the erythrocytes and mononuclear blood cells from uremic patients on chronic hemodialysis, the membrane concentrations of malonyldialdehyde (MDA), resulting from peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the membrane itself increased, and the concentrations of vitamin E (VIT E), the major antioxidizing agent, were lower. In the present study we analysed whether similar oxidative damage is seen in the serum from hemodialysis patients and whether the serum fatty acid pattern is affected. No evidence was found of oxidative damage in the serum during hemodialysis, serum concentrations of MDA and VIT E remaining constant before and after dialysis. No change was observed in serum pattern of PUFA, particularly linoleic acid. We therefore assume that the oxidative damage described in uremic patients is mainly intracellular.
