Abstract EN
Objective.
Sulphur, similar to phosphorus, is easily attached to organic compounds.
The inadequate elimination of sulphate may cause high sulphate concentrations in hemodialysis (HD) patients because sulphate is low in free form in plasma.
Although we are well aware of the accumulation of phosphorus in chronic dialysis patients, we do not have an adequate knowledge database about the sulphur compounds.
This study was designed to determine the level of sulphate in hemodialysis patients.
Materials and Methods.
Ninety-four prevalent HD patients and 33 patients without renal failure were included in the study.
The serum inorganic sulphate levels were measured by turbidimetric technique.
Moreover, the serum level of urea, creatinine, albumin, calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone concentrations was simultaneously recorded.
Results.
Mean levels of plasma sulphate were significantly higher (0.56 ± 0.17 mM vs 0.31 ± 0.13 mM, p<0.001) in HD patients.
Serum sulphate level correlated with patient’s age, serum albumin, serum BUN and creatinine, and serum phosphorus level in HD patients.
Serum sulphate levels were not associated with serum parathyroid hormone levels.
Conclusion.
Serum sulphate levels were approximately twofold higher in HD patients than in the normal control group.
Inorganic sulphate does not seem to accumulate in long-term dialysis patients, and mild increased serum levels of sulphate has no poor clinical outcome in these patients.
