Oxidant stress is a well known cause of damage in the atherosclerotic process. Vitamin E is one of the most promising natural antioxidants. In this study we investigated if a vitamin E-coated dialyzer was able to reduce the plasma levels of auto-antibodies against oxidized-LDL, von Willebrand factor (vWf) and thrombomodulin (TM) as markers of endothelial damage. In this controlled 6-month prospective study, we investigated these markers in two matched groups (n= 16 each) of patients on regular hemodialysis not yet diagnosed for atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease (ACVD) (mean age= 58.3±7.0 yrs, mean dialysis age = 30.1±10.0 months), in which cellulosic (CLS) and vitamin E-modified dialyzers (CLE) were compared. At inclusion all the patients were treated with CLS. Then, the study group was shifted to CLE for 6 months. At baseline the patients showed normal levels of vitamin E and high levels of oxLDL-Ab, vWf and TM compared to healthy subjects. In the CLE group oxLDL-Ab and vWf, but not TM levels, decreased progressively (from 472±287 to 264±199 mU/mL, p<0.0001 and from 101.1±7.5% to 76.7±18.5%; p<0.001, respectively), and vitamin E increased from 4.40±0.81 to 7.81±1.16 μg/mg of cholesterol. At the end of the study, 8 of the patients treated with CLE were randomly selected and went back to the membrane without Vitamin E for six months. They showed an significant increase in OxLDL-Ab and vWf levels and a significant reduction in tocoferol levels. In conclusion, CLE compared to cellulosic dialyzers can lower some indices of damage to LDL and endothelial cells.
