Résumé

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Oxidative stress seems to play a pivotal role in this process, and purine metabolism may be involved in CKD-related oxidative stress. Xanthine oxidase (XO) is an enzyme involved in purine metabolism and is also responsible for the production of reactive oxygen species. Methods: This prospective study aimed to analyze the relation between plasma dosages of molecules involved in redox balance, purine metabolism and cardiovascular events in patients with non-diabetic CKD stages 3-5 or on chronic hemodialysis (HD). CKD (n = 51) and HD (n = 50) patients were compared to matched healthy controls (n = 38) and followed-up for 3 years. Results: Both CKD and HD patients had decreased plasma levels of antioxidants (selenium, zinc, vitamin C). HD patients had decreased levels of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase and increased levels of oxidation products (ischemia-modified albumin, malondialdehyde [MDA]). The following substrates and enzymes involved in purine metabolism were increased in the HD cohort: adenosine, adenosine deaminase and the pro-oxidant XO. XO activity was negatively correlated with super oxide dismutase and positively with MDA. Interestingly, XO activity was an independent predictor of cardiovascular events in CKD and HD patients, regardless of uric acid levels. Uric acid was not predictive of events. Conclusion: This highlights a possible role of XO itself in CKD-related cardiovascular disease (CVD) and raises the hypothesis that beneficial effects observed with XO inhibitors on CVD in CKD may also be due to the reduction of oxidative stress.
