Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Antioxidative Stress
End Stage Renal Disease on Dialysis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05266794
Lead Sponsor
Ain Shams University
Brief Summary

An Open labeled, Paralled, Randomized, Prospective, study was conducted on 60 patients who were randomized into 3 groups, 22, 20 and 18 patients in Control, Selenium and, Thiotacid groups respectively. Serum levels of ROS, CoQ10, and miRNA-126 were assessed at base line and after three months for all patients.
