Effect of haemodialysis on plasma lipid peroxidation and endogenous non-enzymic antioxidants in Gorgan (South East of Caspian Sea)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of haemodialysis on lipid peroxidation (the level of lipid peroxidation expressed as malondialdehyde) and endogenous non-enzymic antioxidants before and after the dialysis and compared with control group. The sampling procedure was a purposive sampling. Twenty two patients with Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) disease who were haemodialysed at 5th Azar hospital of Gorgan Dialysis Center (2005). Twenty two age and sex matched healthy control were recruited for this study. Plasma level of malondialdehyde and uric acid were significantly increased and reduced in the postdialysis group when compared with predialysis and control group, respectively (p<0.001). The plasma level of albumin and total bilirubin were significantly increased in postdialysis group when compared with predialysis group (p
