Anemia is the most common hematologic complication in end‐stage renal disease (ESRD).
It is ascribed to decreased erythropoietin production, shortened red blood cell (RBC) …

Background: Chronic renal failure (CRF) patients present a high incidence of cardiovascular
pathologies and cancer. This has been attributed to the existence of genomic instability in …

Several cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors have been identified among patients with
chronic kidney disease (CKD). Gut-derived uremic toxins (GDUT) are important modifiable …

Chronic renal failure (CRF) patients are considered to present genomic instability and, as a
consequence, elevated levels of genetic damage. An open question is whether this damage …

Increased oxidative stress is believed to contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular
disease in uraemia. In children with chronic renal failure (CRF), an anti-oxidant enzyme …

Methods. The cytokinesis-block micronucleus (MN) assay was performed on peripheral
blood lymphocytes to evaluate genetic damage. Results. A higher frequency of MN in the …

Background: Hemodialysis (HD) patients are subjected to increased oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress causes DNA damage, which may be repaired by a DNA repair …

The aim of this study was to analyze the antioxidative effect of osajin during prophylactic
administration. The pathological model for in vivo experiment was the unilateral ischemia …

Results GSH showed negative correlations with systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP)
values, while a positive one with HDL-cholesterol level, as expected. Interestingly, the level …

Conclusion The cardiovascular mortality rate is high in patients with renal disease, a fact that
is worsened by multiple risk factors including diabetes mellitus, premature and excessive …
