Effect of Hemodialysis on Serum Copper and Zinc Levels in Kidney Disease Patients

Abstract

For human beings trace elements are essential nutrients with a gamut of functions. Available data regarding trace element status in hemodialysis patients are contradictory. The present study was aimed to investigate possible existence of trace element disturbances in uremic patients undergoing dialysis treatment. Blood samples of forty hemodialysis patients and twenty healthy controls were analyzed for quantitation of copper and zinc. The study revealed that serum copper and zinc concentrations in hemodialysis patients are distinctly decreased compared to that of healthy controls. Abnormalities of trace elements are primarily the result of uremia, and they may be further exacerbated by the dialysis procedure.

Effect of Hemodialysis on Serum Copper and Zinc Levels in Kidney Disease Patients

Abstract

Insan için eser elementler bir çok fonksiyonu için gerekli besin öğeleridir(???). Hemodiyaliz hastalarında eser elementlerin durumu ile ilgili veriler çelişkilidir. Bu çalışmada diyaliz programında olan üremik hastalarda eser element bozukluklarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmaya kırk hemodiyaliz hastası ve kontrol grubu olarak yirmi sağlıklı birey alınarak kan örneklerinde bakır ve çinko düzeyleri kantitatif olarak analiz edildi. Sonuç olarak hemodiyaliz hastalarında serum bakır ve çinko konsantrasyonlarının sağlıklı kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında belirgin azaldığı saptandı. Eser element düzeylerindeki anormallik primer olarak üremeye bağlı olarak ortaya çıkabilir ve diyaliz bu anormalliğin şiddetlenmesine neden olabilir
