Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Nrf2 is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of antioxidant genes. This study aimed to investigate the association of Nrf2 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs35652124 (-653A/G) and rs6721961 (-617C/A), with laboratory data and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS: Blood samples were obtained from 216 HD patients (119 males and 97 females; 60 diabetics and 156...
