Plasma thromboxane B2 in haemodialysed patients.
Plasma thromboxane B2 (TXB2) concentration was measured in 7 cases of terminal renal failure before and after haemodialysis. The TXB2 levels were higher in the investigated group than in the control group (p less than 0.05). Haemodialysis induced a further increase in the TXB2 concentration. Increased thromboxane production may play a part in the pathogenesis of accelerated atherosclerosis in uraemic patients treated with chronic haemodialysis.
