The conversion of dialysis patients to a vitamin E-coated dialyser is associated with an improvement in circulating biomarkers of lipid peroxidation , which is of potential clinical benefit
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is prevalent in dialysis patients and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and anaemia .
We conducted a systematic review and meta- analysis to examine the effect of Excebrane , a vitamin E-coated cellulose-based dialyser , on circulating biomarkers of lipid peroxidation , as surrogate markers of oxidative stress .
Oxidative damage during hemodialysis using a vitamin-E-modified dialysis membrane: a preliminary characterization.
A comparison of the oxyradical exposure during  hemodialysis ( HD ) carried out with vitamin-E-modified cellulose ( CL-E ) or conventional membranes  , study ing red blood cell ( RBC ) and plasma lipoperoxidation and RBC glutathione metabolism , was done . In this preliminary characterization of a new and original approach to the prevention of free radical damage in HD , the results obtained indicate that lipoperoxidation in plasma and RBC is decreased and therefore oxidative damage can be significantly decreased using CL-E dialysis membranes instead of conventional membranes
