چکیده

Introduction: Systemic inflammation is a common complication in patients with chronic renal dysfunction including hemodialysis patients. The aim of this study is evaluating association of inflammatory factors on ?2-microglobulin (?2-m) in hemodialysis patients Results: The cases included 28 females (71.8%) and 11 males (28.2%) with the mean age of 60.61 15.25 yrs. There was no significant relationship between CRP, HDL-C, Albumin and ?2-microglobulin (P ? 0.05). Conclusion: Although the rise of inflammatory factors may increase ?2-microglobulin levels, we found no significant relationship between inflammatory factors and ?2-microglobulin when low-flux biocompatible membranes are used.
