- Abstract
Background. Oxidative stress is a process involved in haemodialysis-related pathologies such as cerebrovascular diseases. Retinol is the major circulating form of vitamin A and it is elevated in haemodialysis (HD) patients. It is known that these patients present anaemia that is not totally responsive to erythropoietin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of plasma retinol levels on oxidative stress biomarkers, especially on δ-aminolevulinate dehydratase.
