Increased oxidative stress (OS) in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and particularly in those undergoing hemodialysis (HD), is widely recognized. We aimed to evaluate ischemia modified albumin (IMA) as a marker of OS in CKD patients who are not yet on HD compared to chronic HD patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Hitit University, Corum, Turkey in 2015. In this study, 39 chronic HD and 36 CKD patients in stage 3-4 were included, as well as 34 healthy individuals as a control group. IMA levels in HD patients (before and after HD session), stage 3-4 CKD patients and control group were evaluated using the ELISA method. Pre-HD and post-HD albumin levels were measured and albumin-adjusted IMA (aIMA) levels were calculated. IMA and aIMA levels were higher in chronic HD and CKD patients who are not yet on HD, compared to healthy individuals (IMA, 179.76 ± 60.46, 209.67 ± 69.84, 67.41 ± 32.22, P <0.001, respectively, aIMA, 186.22 ± 64.84, 212.96 ± 72.84, 68.80 ± 34.42, P <0.001, respectively). Likewise, IMA and aIMA levels in post-HD patients were higher than pre-HD levels (IMA, 294.62 ± 66.64, 179.76 ± 60.46, P <0.001, respectively, aIMA, 298.31 ± 70.93, 186.22 ± 64.83, P <0.001). Linear regression analysis identified glomerular filtration rate as the most effective factor on IMA (P <0.001). CKD is associated with increased OS and the HD procedure itself also contributes to the increase in OS. IMA may serve as a feasible biomarker for determination of OS.
