Özet

Background: Elevated oxidative status and reduced antioxidant defence systems in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) accelerate the prevalence of atherosclerosis and other chronic complications. We aimed to investigate the levels of reactive oxygen, nitrogen species, and antioxidants in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) having hemodialysis and controls and evaluate the factors that might influence the oxidative-antioxidative balance.
