| Abstract | Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis (HD) among whom it is 5–20 times higher than in the general population. Some of the nontraditional risk factors such as oxidative stress and inflammation are related to the progress of CVD in HD patients. Several, but not all studies, reported that inflammatory and oxidative stress markers are increased during a single session of HD, mimicking changes that occur during acute immune activation. This study was taken up to evaluate the changes in the inflammatory and oxidative stress markers during a single HD session in patients with chronic kidney disease.Methods: Twenty-five ESRD patients on maintenance HD and 25 controls were included in the study. Blood samples were obtained from the patients before starting of hemodialysis (pre-HD) and after completion of hemodialysis (post-HD). The changes in serum Pentraxin-3, hs-CRP, malondialdehyde (MDA) and ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) levels were measured in pre- and post-HD ESRD patients and compared with healthy control group.Results: This study found increased levels of Pentraxin-3, hs-CRP, MDA, and decreased level of FRAP in HD patients compared to controls.Conclusions: Hemodialysis procedure contributes to inflammation and oxidative stress. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
