Secondary carnitine deficiency may develop in patients with end‐stage renal disease …

Cardiac diseases are well known among patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD), and
carnitine deficiency may be an important factor in cardiac morbidity. We studied the effects of …

Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that is involved in the transport of
long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondrial matrix. There, these substrates undergo β …

Background. The current study was performed to investigate the kinetics of carnitine,
individual acylcarnitines and butyrobetaine in patients on haemodialysis. Methods. Eight …

Exercise capacity in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) remains impaired despite
