Serum Tumor Markers in Hemodialysis Patients
Aims The main objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on concentrations of five tumor markers (TMs): carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 (CA19-9), CA15-3, CA125, and prostate specific antigen (PSA) in a group of chronic hemodi...

Summary: | Aims
The main objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on concentrations of five tumor markers (TMs): carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 (CA19-9), CA15-3, CA125, and prostate specific antigen (PSA) in a group of chronic hemodialysis patients (CHPs); and to study the influence of hemodialysis (HD) sessions on concentrations of the same TMs.
Methods
We compared TMs levels in CHP before HD sessions to a control group of 50 healthy volunteers, the dosages were determined before and immediately after the HD session Comparisons were made before and after correction for dialysis-induced hemoconcentrations.
Results
We enrolled 74 CHPs, all TM concentrations were higher in this group compared to control group, but this increase was significant for CEA (4.25 ± 2.89 vs 2.41 ± 1.81ng/ml; p |
