The oxidative stress response via Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) interlinks inflammation- and metabolism-related pathways in chronic kidney disease. We assessed the association between polymorphisms in Nrf2, superoxide dismutase (SOD2), glutathione peroxidase (GPX1), and the risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The modifying effect of these polymorphisms on both oxidative phenotype and ESRD prognosis, both independently and/or in combination with the glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) deletion polymorphism, was further analyzed. Polymorphisms in Nrf2 (rs6721961), SOD2 (rs4880), GPX1 (rs1050450), and GSTM1 were determined by PCR in 256 ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis and 374 controls. Byproducts of oxidative stress were analyzed spectrophotometically or by ELISA. Time-to-event modeling was performed to evaluate overall survival and cardiovascular survival. The SOD2 Val/Val genotype increased ESRD risk (OR = 2.01, p = 0.002), which was even higher in combination with the GPX1 Leu/Leu genotype (OR = 3.27, p = 0.019). Polymorphism in SOD2 also showed an effect on oxidative phenotypes. Overall survival in ESRD patients was dependent on a combination of the Nrf2 (C/C) and GPX1 (Leu/Leu) genotypes in addition to a patients’ age and GSTM1 polymorphism. Similarly, the GPX1 (Leu/Leu) genotype contributed to longer cardiovascular survival. Conclusions: Our results show that SOD2, GPX1, and Nrf2 polymorphisms are associated with ESRD development and can predict survival.

The present study aimed to evaluate the changes in oxidative stress markers according to the concentration of plasma oxalic acid (POx) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional observational study involving 72 ESRD patients and 30 relatively healthy individuals who served as a control reference group for evaluation of POx concentration. Among ESRD patients there were 32 hemodialysis (HD) patients and 40 peritoneal dialysis (PD). POx concentration was measured spectrophotometrically using a commercially available kit (MAK315, Sigma, Spain). Malonic dialdehyde (MDA), ceruloplasmin (CP), transferrin (TR), sulfhydryl groups (SH-groups), antioxidant blood capacity (AOC) and total peroxidase activity of erythrocytes (TPA) were measured and the oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated in all examined patients. Results. A significant increase in POx concentration was observed in ESRD patients compared with healthy volunteers (p < 0.0001). The concentrations of MDA in serum, OSI in erythrocytes and serum of the examined patients were gradually increased, while serum levels of CP, AOC, SH-groups and TPA in erythrocytes, on the contrary, were decreased in accordance with the increasing trend of POx concentrations. Correlation analysis demonstrated a statistically significant direct relationship between POx concentration and MDA (r = 0.57; p <0.0001) and OSI (r = 0.64; p <0.0001). The inverse correlation was determined between POx and antioxidant markers: CP (r = -0.35; p = 0.007), SH-groups in serum (r = -0.3; p = 0.04) and erythrocytes (r = -0.53 ; p <0.0001). Conclusions. The intensity of oxidative-antioxidant balance disorders in the blood of ESRD patients has been associated with the POx concentration: the higher the concentration of POx was the more active oxidative processes and the more pronounced lack of antioxidant protective factors occurred. Further studies are needed to determine the role of POx in the initiation of oxidative stress and chronic inflammation in ESRD patients.

Oxidative stress is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Intravenous (IV) iron has been shown to increase oxidative stress. The aim of the study was to evaluate changes in oxidative stress markers following administration of IV sodium ferric gluconate (SFG) to ESRD patients with and without administration of the antioxidant, α-lipoic acid. This is an open-label, crossover study. 125 mg of IV SFG was administered during control (C) and intervention (I) visits. During the I visit, 600 mg of α-lipoic acid was given orally prior to IV SFG. Blood samples were collected at defined time periods for F2-isoprostane (FIP), lipid hydroperoxide (LHP), malondialdehyde (MDA), and iron indices. We recruited ten African-American ESRD subjects: 50% male; mean age 45±9 years; mean hemoglobin 13±1 g/dL; ferritin 449±145 ng/mL; transferrin saturation 27±4%. There were no significant differences in iron indices between the two visits after IV SFG. MDA, FIP, and LHP increased significantly for both C and I visits with a greater increase in the I group. Administration of IV SFG results in an acute rise in oxidative stress in ESRD patients. In contrast to previous studies, administration of α-lipoic acid was associated with a greater increase in oxidative stress.

AbstractThe appropriate biomarkers for oxidative stress (OS) in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) are important in renal pathology. Patients (56) with ESRD were investigated (35 men and 21 women). Patients, with mean age of 45±17 years, defined education, specific HD duration and calculated body mass index (BMI), were exposed to a polysulphone type HD membrane for approximately 4 hours per HD session, 3 times per week. The control group was composed of 31 healthy volunteers. The total antioxidative capacity (TAC) and the antioxidative (AO) enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), were assessed. Analyses included Randox Crumlin GB; lipid peroxidation (LP) using its end product, malonyldialdehyde (MDA) (fluorimetric); and a LDL-ox immunoassay (Biomedica gruppe, Vienna, Austria). The TAS was higher in ESRD patients before HD (1.63±0.1 mmol/L) compared to the control group (1.23±0.03 mmol/L).

In end-stage renal disease patients, the leading causes of mortality are of cardiovascular (CV) origin. The underlying mechanisms are complex, given that sudden heart failure is more common than acute myocardial infarction. A contributing role of oxidative stress is postulated, which is increased even at early stages of chronic kidney disease, is gradually augmented in parallel to progression to endstage renal disease and is further accelerated by renal replacement therapy. Oxidative stress ensues when there is an imbalance between reactive pro-oxidants and physiologically occurring electron donating antioxidant defence systems. During the last decade, a close association of oxidative stress with accelerated atherosclerosis and increased risk for CV and all-cause mortality has been established. Lipid peroxidation has been identified as a trigger for endothelial dysfunction, the first step towards atherogenesis. In order to counteract the deleterious effects of free radicals and thereby ameliorate, or delay, CV disease, exogenous administration of antioxidants has been proposed. Here, we attempt to summarize existing data from studies that test antioxidants for CV protection, such as vitamins E and C, statins, omega-3 fatty acids and N-acetylcysteine.

Cachexia is common in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, and it is an important risk factor for poor quality of life and increased mortality and morbidity. Chronic inflammation is an important cause of cachexia in ESRD patients. In the present review, we examine recent evidence suggesting that adipokines or adipocytokines such as leptin, adiponectin, resistin, tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin-6, and interleukin-1β may play important roles in uremic cachexia. We also review the physiology and the potential roles of gut hormones, including ghrelin, peptide YY, and cholecystokinin in ESRD. Understanding the molecular pathophysiology of these novel hormones in ESRD may lead to novel therapeutic strategies.

Hemodialysis is the most common type of treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Frailty is associated with poor outcomes such as higher mortality. ESRD patients have a higher prevalence of frailty. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to identify the prevalence and associated factors of frailty and examine whether it is a predictor of mortality among ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis. Five electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched for relevant studies up to 30 November 2020. A total of 752 articles were found, and seven studies with 2604 participants in total were included in the final analysis. The pooled prevalence of frailty in patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis was 46% (95% Confidence interval (CI) 34.2−58.3%). Advanced age, female sex, and the presence of diabetes mellitus increased the risk of frailty in ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis. Our main finding showed that patients with frailty had a greater risk of all-cause mortality compared with those without (hazard ratio (HR): 2.02, 95% CI: 1.65−2.48). To improve ESRD patient outcomes, healthcare professionals need to assess the frailty of older ESRD patients, particularly by considering gender and comorbidities. Comprehensive frailty screening tools for ESRD patients on hemodialysis need to be developed.

SummaryFibrin clots with reduced permeability, increased clot stiffness and reduced fibrinolysis susceptibility may predispose to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Little is known, however, about the structure of fibrin clots in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).These patients suffer from a high risk of CVD in addition to their chronic low-grade inflammation. Using permeability, compaction and turbidity studies in 22 ESRD patients and 24 healthy controls, fibrin clots made from patient plasma were found to be less permeable (p<0.001), less compactable (p<0.001), and less susceptible to fibrinolysis (p<0.001) than clots from controls.The maximum rate of turbidity increase was also higher for the patients than controls (p<0.001), and scan-ning electron microscopy revealed higher clot density of fibrin fibers in clots from patients than clots from controls (p<0.001). Patients had higher plasma concentrations of fibrinogen, C-reative protein and interleukin 6 than controls.These plasma markers of inflammation correlated significantly with most of the fibrin structure characteristics observed in the patients. In contrast, plasma markers of azothemia showed no such correlations. The results suggest that in ESRD patients fibrin clots are significantly different from healthy controls, and that the fibrin structure characteristics in the patients are associated primarily with the inflammatory plasma milieu rather than with level of azothemia.
