AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined how antioxidant enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase and catalase) in the blood of chronic uraemic patients were affected before and after haemodialysis.
- Before haemodialysis, there was a decrease in antioxidant enzyme activity and an increase in lipid peroxidation, indicating higher oxidative stress in the patients.
- After haemodialysis, the risk factors related to serum lipids and lipid peroxidation showed improvement, suggesting the procedure has a moderating effect on these risks.
Article Abstract
A study was made of the changes in the activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase in the blood of chronic uraemic patients before and after haemodialysis. Changes in serum lipids (primarily neutral lipids), lipoproteins and lipid peroxidation were also followed. Before haemodialysis, antioxidant enzyme activities decreased, while lipid peroxidation increased both in the plasma and in the RBC haemolysates. Quantitative changes in the lipids increased the risk factors. Haemodialysis moderated these risk factors and a tendency to improvement was observed.
