| Abstract | ||
| Varieties of complications have been recognized in patients with chronic renal failure, such as neurological complications. This articles aims to study a neurological complication in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) through determine of the MAO activity, Na+, and K+ and the role for cholesterol in neuron function/degeneration through its correlation to MAO activity. Twenty three patients with ESRD were studied and compared to twenty healthy individuals. Significant increase of MAO activity (p<0.05) and cholesterol (p<0.001) were observed in the sera of patients with ESRD compared to the control group. While a non significant increase of sodium and potassium (p>0.05) were found in the present study in the sera of patients with ESRD compared to the control group. Also a non significant correlation (p>0.05, r=0.21) were found between MAO activity and cholesterol. Keywords:- renal failure, monoamine oxidase, cholesterol, neurologic ,complication. | ||
