Reduced glutathione (GSH) levels were investigated in the erythrocytes and plasma of nondialyzed patients with varying degrees of renal insufficiency and also of patients on regular hemodialysis treatment. GSH levels were from 19 to 70% higher in the erythrocytes of examined patients as compared to their corresponding age-matched controls. A correlation was found between the degree of renal insufficiency and the erythrocyte GSH level. No variations in plasma GSH levels which could be related to the degree of renal deterioration were observed. A routine hemodialysis did not significantly affect erythrocyte and plasma GSH levels. No significant differences in GSH levels between anemic and nonanemic uremic patients were observed. © 1988.
