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 …

♦ 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 …

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

Dear Sir, L-Carnitine is a nonprotein amino acid that is present in tissues with high energy
requirements such as the skeletal muscle and myocardium. It is also present in large …

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 metabolism and the therapeutic use of carnitine has been a major area of interest
in dialysis patients. The purpose of this study was to determine whether any correlations …

Carnitine has high dialyzability and is often deficient in dialysis patients. This deficiency is
treated by either intravenous (IV) or oral supplementation of carnitine. In this study, the mode …

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

Carnitine has an essential role in the mitochondrial oxidation of long-chain fatty acids.
Carnitine deficiency has been described in patients with chronic kidney disease. Total …
