Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEffects of oral vitamin C supplementation on oxidative stress and inflammation status in haemodialysis patients.
There is increasing evidence for the presence of oxidative stress and vitamin C deficiency in dialysis patients. Limited data, however, are available regarding the effects of vitamin C supplementation on oxidative stress and inflammation markers in such patients. ⋯ Short-term oral vitamin C supplementation did not modify well-defined oxidative/antioxidative stress and inflammation markers in HD patients. Whether a higher oral dose or the intravenous route can modify these markers remains to be determined.
