Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between hypothyroidism and oxidative stress markers in women, specifically assessing conditions like Hashimoto's thyroiditis and nonautoimmune hypothyroidism after treatment with levothyroxine.
- A total of 116 women participated, with findings showing that both hypothyroid groups exhibited lower levels of important antioxidant compounds compared to healthy controls, indicating a shift towards oxidative stress.
- Despite treatment with levothyroxine, the hypothyroid groups did not show significant improvement in oxidative stress marker levels, suggesting that the treatment may not effectively address the oxidative stress associated with these conditions.
Theranova versus FX80: The impact on anemia management in hemodialysis.
Int J Artif Organs
April 2024
Background: Middle uremic toxins (MUTs) can cause anemia and erythropoietin hyporesponsiveness. Theranova dialyzers may improve anemia management by removing MUTs. Hence, the impact of Theranova dialyzers on erythropoietin responsiveness was studied.

The effect of MCO dialyzers on MIS has been studied.
Methods: This single-center exploratory prospective observational study enrolled maintenance hemodialysis patients who underwent dialysis using either MCO (Theranova 400) or high-flux (FX80) membranes as part of their regular care.
Weak evidence is present for choosing amongst different temporary hemodialysis catheter (THC) designs with regards to the risk of venous thrombosis, therefore two THC designs for the right internal jugular vein (RIJV) were compared. Patients aged ≥18 years who needed THC insertion into the RIJV for acute hemodialysis due to either acute or chronic renal failure were included. The type of THC (precurved/straight) was dependent on the date of hospital admission.
