LDL susceptibility to oxidation and HDL antioxidant capacity in patients with renal failure

Abstract

Objectives: This study examines the susceptibility to oxidation and the ability to stimulate reactive oxygen species of LDL from hemodialysis (HD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. It was also designed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of HDL from uremic patients.

Design and methods: Lipoprotein properties were determined in 28 HD patients, 30 CAPD patients and 30 control subjects by spectrophotometric, chemiluminescence and electrophoresis methods.

Results: CAPD LDL were more resistant to oxidation than control LDL. HD and control LDL, in contrast to CAPD LDL, stimulated reactive oxygen species generation in granulocytes. The HDL ability to protect LDL against oxidation was impaired in renal patients.

Conclusions: The risk of atherosclerosis development in patients with renal failure does not appear to be related to less resistance of LDL to oxidation, but rather to the decreased HDL antioxidant capacity.
