Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the susceptibility to exercise-induced lipid peroxidation of patients on chronic maintenance dialysis (CMD) and non-CMD control subjects.

Design: Cross-sectional comparison of exercise-induced changes in breath ethane and pentane flux between patients on CMD (group A) and an age-, gender-, medical diagnosis-, smoking-, and ethanol consumption-matched comparison group (group B). Breath ethane and pentane were measured at rest before exercise, during cardiopulmonary exercise stress testing (CPX) at lactic acidosis threshold (Vo2lat), and 5 minutes after CPX.
