Background
Patients in hemodialysis (HD) has increased oxidative stress (OS), what it produces endothelial damage secondary to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and consequently progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It has been observed, that the use of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) could decrease the OS in this patients. We evaluated the effect of bemiparine a LMWH on the OS of patients in chronic HD.
Methods
Randomized, open, single-blind controlled clinical trial in chronic HD patients: group with UFH (n=19) as standard anticoagulation during HD and group with LMWH (n= 19). The OS markers were measured basal, at 4 and at 8 weeks: malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Nitric Oxide synthase (NOS), Catalase (CAT) and Peroxidase (POD). Student's t-test, one-way ANOVA were performed.
Results
The mean age of the study groups was 33.5± 4.4 years. The comparison between groups did not present statistically significant differences in markers of OS. While, the intragroup comparison group with LMWH, was statistically significant differences in the levels of TAC (basal vs intermediate and, basal vs final); CAT (Intermediate vs final) and POD (intermediate vs final); while, the group with UFH showed statistically significant differences (p≤ 0.05) in the levels of POD (basal vs final), see Figure 1. None of the groups presented events of thrombosis or hemorrhagic complications.
Conclusion
There was a prospective increase in the concentration of OS markers in the LMWH group, what it demonstrates that the continuous use of LMWH participates in the antioxidant defense against the generation of ROS and the OS of patients with CKD in HD. It is necessary to evaluate the long-term use of LMWH on oxidative stress markers and evaluate the possible benefit of it use in the reduction of cardiovascular mortality.
