Popis: Kidney transplantation (KT) is one of the best treatments for patients with chronic renal disease. It leads to improved kidney function, but the oxidative stress (OS) is only partially eliminated after KT. This study evaluated the effect of KT on outcomes, such as (a) specific kidney functions, (b) metabolic parameters, as well as (c) OS-related markers in 70 patients (46 males, 24 females; mean age = 54 ± 11) before and 1 year after KT. Post KT, the patients were divided into two groups: those receiving only cyclosporine A (N = 36) and those receiving only tacrolimus (N = 34). Improved kidney function (creatinine, urea, and glomerular filtration rate) and biochemical and hematological parameters were found 1 year after KT. OS-related markers (total antioxidant capacity, advanced oxidation protein, and lipid peroxidation products) decreased, but glutathione level increased after KT. Alterations in superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were also found. Glutathione peroxidase levels were unchanged. The level of oxidized low-density lipoprotein was surprisingly, not significantly increased. There was no significant difference between calcineurin inhibitors in any of the measured parameters. Improved renal function after KT is linked to reduction in OS but independent of immunosuppressive therapy.
