What is it about?
Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) is a gradual, progressive and irreversible loss of normal functioning of kidneys. This is associated with formation of reactive oxygen species and increased oxidative stress.The primary defense against the oxidative stress is played by nutritional antioxidants and endogenous antioxidants. we authors have evaluated this effect by using diacetate cellulose membrane.

Why is it important?
our data collectively suggest that changes in oxidative stress and antioxidant status in CRF patients are more likely due to defective kidney functioning and this shows that oxidative stress is accompanied by decreased antioxidant defense in CRF patients on hemodialysis.
Perspectives
We strongly believe that our study results serve as pre- liminary data to plan such studies in future in Nepali population.
