Popis: Background: Uremia is accompanied by the elevated nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, and it has not yet been established how this influences the levels of nonprotein sulfhydryl compounds (NPSH) and formation of S-nitrosothiols (SNT). Methods: Our study was designed to determine plasma levels of SNT and NPSH in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients, who were hemodialysed (HD) or were not on hemodialysis treatment (ND), and in the control group. Results: In ND patients, the plasma levels of SNT were significantly increased (11.25±2.08 nmol/ml, p
