The discovery of isoprostanes, which are products of non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation, resulted in the research on the new role of free radicals in physiology and pathophysiology. Isoprostane quantitative analysis is a great achievement in the evaluation of free radical impact on many diseases in human. Isoprostanes were also found to be elevated in end-stage renal disease, another condition associated with increased oxidative stress. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of nephroprotective treatments on the urinary excretion of 15-F2alpha-isoprostane in the treated patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). 84 patients (32 females and 52 males); age 18-65 years (average 39.06 +/- 4.92), with chronic non-diabetic proteinuric nephropathy, normal or slightly impaired stable renal function expressed as estimated creatinine cleamace above 30 mi/min, were selected from the cohort that attended our renal outpatients department. Clinical evaluation and laboratory tests were performed at the randomization point and after each period of the study A commercial ELISA Kit (Cayman Chemical Co) was used to measure the urinary excretion of 15-F2alpha-isoprostane in the treated patients. It was found that the blockade of renin-angiotensin-aldosteron system (with aliskiren, cilazapril, perindopril, spironolakton) and the treatment with atorwastatin significantly reduced urinary levels of 15-F2alpha-isoprostane relatively to the control group. It was not observed for pentoxyfilline treatment. Urine levels of isoprostanes are significantly decreased in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease during nephroprotective treatments.
