Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the relationship between interleukin-8 and the oxidant-antioxidant system in end-stage renal failure patients with and without diabetes mellitus undergoing regular hemodialysis treatment.
Materials And Methods: Plasma levels of malondialdehyde and whole blood reduced glutathione were measured as markers of the oxidant and antioxidant systems, respectively. Plasma interleukin-8 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
