♦ Objective: In the present study, we aimed to determine levels of free carnitine in
hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in India and to correlate carnitine …

Background: Carnitine deficiency is common in patients on dialysis. Serum free carnitine
concentration is significantly lower in patients on hemodialysis (HD) than in healthy …

Background: Patients on hemodialysis (HD) are known to be at risk of carnitine deficiency.
The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of carnitine deficiency in patients …

Results. Absolute carnitine deficiency, low total carnitine, and low AC concentrations were
found in 66.7%, 82.6%, and 51% of the patients, respectively. All of the patients had relative …

Carnitine deficiency contributes to developing various pathological conditions, such as
cardiac dysfunction, muscle weakness, and erythropoietin-resistant anemia in patients …

Background: Carnitine supplementation improves various dialysis-related symptoms
including erythropoietin-resistant anemia in patients who are undergoing hemodialysis …

1-What is carnitine?. Carnitine metabolism has been recently reviewed [1]. Carnitine is a
161 dalton water-soluble compound discovered in 1905 from muscle tissue, explaining the …

Objective: An evaluation of serum free carnitine level in CAPD patients in relation to dietary
intake, nutritional status and CAPD adequacy and duration. Study design: Food diaries …

Objective: To investigate plasma-free carnitine (Fc), acylcarnitine (Ac), and total carnitine
(Tc) levels in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD), and to explore their clinical …

AIMS: Carnitine is involved in fatty acid metabolism and it is cleared by dialysis. As it plays a
role in energy utilization and because malnutrition is a frequent complication of HD …
