Protein carbonyl: A sensitive marker reflecting oxidative stress in prevalent hemodialysis patients.

Key takeaways

This study found higher levels of a protein marker called protein carbonyl in people on dialysis, and it linked those higher levels to worse nutrition. Because it only looked at people at one point in time, it shows a link but does not prove that the marker causes harm or that lowering it would help.
