Abstract

Abstract: Background and Aims: Increased free radicals production and down-regulated antioxidant enzymes activities contribute to protein, lipid and DNA oxidative damage particularly in HD patients lacking for GSTM1 enzyme activity. At the same time, those patients exhibit higher mortality rate than those with active GSTM1 genotype. It has been shown that vitamin E-coated membranes (VitEM) may decrease oxidative stress and inflammatory status in overall HD patients. Therefore, for the first time we analyzed VitEM dialyzers in patients who are homozygote for GSTM1 gene deletion and in whom anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory benefit could be the greatest. Method: GSTM1 genotypes were determined by PCR in 170 chronic HD patients. Those with GSTM1-null genotype were randomized and 80 were included in the study. Forty of them were dialyzed for three months with VitEM, while other forty were dialyzed with high-flux polysufone membranes of the same surface. Markers of protein and lipid oxidative damage, inflammation (thiol groups, malondialdehyde (MDA), Interleukin-6 (IL-6)), together with plasma antioxidant activity (glutathione peroxidase (GPX), superoxide dismutase (SOD)) were determined at the start and at the end of the study. Results: Seventy-five patients' finished the study. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups (age, sex, body weight, dialysis vintage, vascular access, presence of diabetes, dialyzers surface, Kt/V and CRP). Also, there were no significant differences at baseline markers of protein and lipid oxidative damage, inflammation and plasma antioxidant activity. After three months of therapy, GPX, MDA, thiol groups increased significantly in both groups, but without statistical significance between groups (Table 1). SOD did not change significantly during three month period. IL-6 increased in control group, at the same time decreased in VitEM group, but without statistical significance. Conclusion: Vitamin E-coated membranes did not influence markers of oxidative stress in HD patients with GSTM1-null genotype. Further studies in the field are required.
