Abstract
A comparison of the oxyradical exposure during hemodialysis (HD) carri ed out with vitamin-E-modified cellulose (CL-E) or conventional membra nes, studying red blood cell (RBC) and plasma lipoperoxidation and RBC glutathione metabolism, was done. In this preliminary characterizatio n of a new and original approach to the prevention of free radical dam age in HD, the results obtained indicate that lipoperoxidation in plas ma and RBC is decreased and therefore oxidative damage can be signific antly decreased using CLE dialysis membranes instead of conventional m embranes.
