title: [Selenium and some antioxidants in blood of patients with chronic renal failure].
abstract: Patients with chronic renal failure often have a reduced level of blood selenium. Decreased glutathione level, and the activity of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase are also lowered. As the effect of these alterations the concentration of malondialdehyde, a marker of the oxidative degradation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, is increased. In patients undergoing regular haemodialysis some of the above mentioned parameters are restored. In dialyzed patients with extremely low concentration of selenium, the administration of this element is recommended.
