Abstract:
:Lipid peroxidation products were measured in the plasma of 24 kidney transplant patients and 12 healthy volunteers (controls) by: (1) 2-thiobarbituric acid assay and (2) the intensity of fluorescence products of malonaldehyde cross-linked proteins. Plasma levels of creatinine, ceruloplasmin, transferrin, prealbumin, albumin and total protein were also measured. Elevated lipid peroxidation products and lowered transferrin levels were observed in transplant patients compared to controls. Ceruloplasmin levels were slightly but significantly elevated in recent transplant recipients (less than 6 months, n = 12, Group A) while no difference was observed between older transplant recipients (greater than 6 months, n = 12, Group B) and controls. Serum, creatinine levels were also slightly but significantly elevated in both groups of patients compared to controls. Serum prealbumin, albumin and total protein levels in both groups of transplant recipients were not different from controls or reference range values.
