Correlation between Depression Severity and Thiol Disulfide Homeostasis in Patients undergoing Hemodialysis.
To investigate the correlation between depression severity and oxidative stress in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) using thiol disulfide homeostasis (TDH). ⋯ Almost half of HD patients had at least moderate depression symptoms. In the group of HD patients with DS, TDH shifted in the oxidative direction. This may contribute to the future studies in enlightening depression etiology in HD patients. Key Words: Hemodialysis, Depression, Thiol disulfide homeostasis (TDH), IMA.
