Does [ Severity of acquired cystic kidney disease determine improvement in chronic kidney failure anemia ]?
These results show that spontaneous improvement on anemia seen in patients on chronic dialysis has a significant correlation with the severity of acquired cystic disease of the end-stage kidney. Our data suggest a functional role of acquired kidney cysts on endogenous erythropoietin production.
Se or Se + folic acid supplementations improve renal development and protein content and modify antioxidant enzymes' activity, decreasing lipid and protein oxidation after EtOH exposure. In this context, a double-supplemented diet appears to reduce protein peroxidation more efficiently than the Se-only-supplemented one, probably via superoxide dismutase and catalase.
