Increase in and clearance of cell-free plasma DNA in hemodialysis quantified by real-time PCR
1 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently cell-free plasma DNA has been described as a marker of apoptosis during hemodialysis (HD), but little is known about how different dialysis membranes may contribute to this process or whether pre-HD levels are restored afterwards. Here we evaluate the influence of the dialysis membrane on cell-free plasma DNA levels and investigate the clearance of plasma circulating DNA after HD. METHODS:...
