| Popis: | To the Editor: An elegant study by Tarng et al1 has demonstrated that intravenous vitamin C supplementation as 300 mg postdialysis three times a week reduces DNA-8-hydroxy-2'deoxyguanosine and reactive oxygen species in peripheral lymphocytes of dialysis patients. Its efficacy with serum ferritin 500 g/L speaks against the worried pro-oxidant effect of vitamin C on lymphocyte DNA oxidation in case of increased iron stores. |
