The principal causes of morbidity and mortality in children with chronic renal failure on maintenance hemodialysis are cardiovascular complications. Recently, it has been suggested that oxidative stress, chronic inflammation and malnutrition are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. However, to date, biomarkers of oxidative stress have not been well studied in children. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between oxidative stress and cardiovascular risk factors in children on hemodialysis therapy. Twenty-eight hemodialysis patients (13 females, 15 males; mean age 15.1 +/- 2.5 years) and 20 healthy children (13 females, seven males; mean age 14.3 +/- 2.7 years) were included in the study. Levels of antibodies to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oLABs), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, and ferritin were measured. Antibodies to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in hemodialysis patients were lower than those in the controls (P < 0.05). The patients with lower oLAB titers had higher levels of hs-CRP and ratio of erythropoietin to hematocrit (EPO/Htc), and lower levels of albumin, prealbumin, apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA(1)), and high-density lipoprotein (P < 0.05). Antibodies to oxidized LDL in hemodialysis patients with dyslipidemia were lower than those of patients with normal lipid profile (P < 0,05). This study showed that children treated by hemodialysis are exposed to oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. We suggest that oLAB levels are decreased in children on hemodialysis as a result of severe oxidative stress and that these antibodies are related to inflammation, anemia, malnutrition and dyslipidemia. |
