Why the study?
Are oxidative stress and antioxidant enzyme levels altered in hypertensive chronic kidney disease patients compared to normotensive CKD patients and healthy controls?
Population
241 subjects including 78 CKD patients with hypertension, 72 CKD patients without hypertension, and 91…
Design
Case-control
Key result
CKD patients with and without hypertension had significantly decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes and increased malondialdehyde compared to healthy controls (p=0.001).

Oxidative stress markers may warrant monitoring in hypertensive CKD; leaves open whether antioxidants alter progression.

Are oxidative stress and antioxidant enzyme levels altered in hypertensive chronic kidney disease patients compared to normotensive CKD patients and healthy controls?
p-value: p=0.001
Hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease exhibit significantly reduced antioxidant enzyme activities and increased oxidative stress markers.
Kachhawa et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Chronic Kidney Disease with and without hypertension (n=241). Chronic Kidney Disease with and without hypertension vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Levels of Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase, and Malondialdehyde (MDA) (p=0.001). CKD patients with and without hypertension had significantly decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes and increased malondialdehyde compared to healthy controls (p=0.001).
