Abstract

Ischemia-Modified albumin (IMA) has been used as an early marker in the evaluation of the patients with acute coronary syndrome. We aimed to evaluate IMA in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis and the effect of albumin methods on albumin-adjusted IMA levels. A total of 30 ESRD patients were included in this study. Serum IMA and albumin levels were measured before and after a hemodialysis session. Albumin concentrations were determined with bromocresol green and bromocresol purple methods. Postdialysis IMA and albumin-adjusted IMA levels with two different albumin methods were significantly increased compared with the predialysis levels (P<0.05). However, we did not find any difference in albumin-adjusted IMA levels in either at the beginning or at the end of the dialysis session. IMA levels increase after hemodialysis, whereas albumin method has no effect on albumin-adjusted IMA levels.
