The purpose of our study was to evaluate the influence of serum carnitine levels on the
metabolic status and lipid profile of patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis …

Serum carnitine and serum triglycerides were measured in 45 patients on CAPD and in 14
healthy controls. There was no significant difference between the mean carnitine levels in …

Carnitine is a conditionally essential metabolite that plays a critical role in cell physiology by
participating in transesterification reactions and preventing organic acid accumulation. A …

Abstract Background/Aim: L-Carnitine is important in β-oxidation of fatty acids. A lack of
carnitine in hemodialysis patients is caused by insufficient carnitine synthesis and especially …

Abstract Carnitine, 3‐hydroxy‐4‐trimethylaminobutyrate, a small, water soluble molecule
that is essential for mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, is significantly reduced in hemodialysis …

Background Carnitine deficiency is common in patients on hemodialysis. However, the
efficacy of L-carnitine supplementation for improving lean body mass (LBM) and physical …

Free carnitine, acylcarnitine and total carnitine serum concentrations have been measured
in chronic renal insufficiency patients under conservative treatment, in patients under regular …

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

Objective l‐Carnitine is an endogenous molecule involved in fatty acid metabolism.
Secondary carnitine deficiency may develop in patients with end‐stage renal disease …

The evidence of carnitine abnormal metabolism in patients on continuous ambulatory
peritoneal dialysis (CAPO) is unclear, and previous studies have reported conflicting results …
