Association of Protein Energy Wasting and Oxidative Stress Markers in Peritoneal Dialysis.

Introduction: Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is highly prevalent among patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), and it has been proposed that oxidative stress (OS) may contribute to its pathogenesis. This study was an attempt to determine the association between the presence of PEW and OS levels in PD patients.

Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study involved 62 clinically stable PD patients aged ≥ 18 years, between September 2017 and July 2018.

Oxidation State in Peritoneal Dialysis in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) progression is closely related to oxidative stress (OS). The study objective was to determine the oxidant and antioxidant status in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). An analytical cross-sectional study from the PD program was carried out with 62 patients, 22 with and 40 without DM.

The Influence of the Severity of Early Chronic Kidney Disease on Oxidative Stress in Patients with and without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Early Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a condition that tends to progress to End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD). Early diagnosis of kidney disease in the early stages can reduce complications. Alterations in renal function represent a complication of diabetes mellitus (DM).

The Role of Dietary Antioxidants on Oxidative Stress in Diabetic Nephropathy.

Diabetic nephropathy (ND) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease and oxidative stress (OS) has been recognized as a key factor in the pathogenesis and progression. Hyperglycemia, reactive oxygen species, advanced glycation end products, arterial pressure, insulin resistance, decrease in nitric oxide, inflammatory markers, and cytokines, among others; are involved in the presence of OS on ND. This revision focus on diverse studies in experimental and human models with diabetes and DN that has been demonstrated beneficial effects of different dietary antioxidant as resveratrol, curcumin, selenium, soy, catechins, α-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, vitamins E and C, on OS and the capacity for antioxidant response.

Oxidative Stress in Diabetic Nephropathy with Early Chronic Kidney Disease.

The increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and the secondary kidney damage produces diabetic nephropathy (DN). Early nephropathy is defined as the presence of microalbuminuria (30-300 mg/day), including normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) or a mildly decreased GFR (60-89 mL/min/1.73 m(2)), with or without overt nephropathy.

[ASSOCIATION OF SERUM ALBUMIN AND SUBJECTIVE GLOBAL ASSESSMENT ON INCIDENT PERITONEAL DIALYSIS PATIENTS].

Introduction: serum albumin the biomarker most frequently used as one of three biochemical criteria for diagnosis of protein energy wasting (PEW). However, as a nutritional parameter it's unreliable in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The subjective global assessment (SGA) has been recommended for nutritional evaluation and the PEW in CKD.
