A hazardous link between malnutrition, inflammation and oxidative stress in renal patients

Atherosclerosis is the main cause of mortality in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Malnutrition, inflammation and diminished paraoxonase activity were used to calculate the sum of risk factors for atherosclerosis development in a cohort of 141 chronic renal disease patients. Kaplan–Meier sur...

Description
Summary:Atherosclerosis is the main cause of mortality in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Malnutrition, inflammation and diminished paraoxonase activity were used to calculate the sum of risk factors for atherosclerosis development in a cohort of 141 chronic renal disease patients. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was implemented to assess risk of death. Kaplan–Meier analysis (Log rank=12.06, P=0.0072) showed higher risk of death with increasing number of risk factors in haemodialysis patients. Malnutrition in combination with inflammation and oxidative stress is associated with higher mortality in patients on long-term haemodialysis. ► Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of mortality of renal disease patients. ► Oxidative stress is novel emerging risk factor for atherosclerosis development. ► Paraoxonase activity is diminished in renal disease patients.
