Plasma homocysteine in renal failure
Plasma homocysteine in three different groups of patients with chronic renal failure (one group without dialysis, one with CAPD and one with hemodialysis) was increased compared to controls. Another group of patients with slightly reduced renal dysfunction (normal serum creatinine but reduced glomerular filtration rate) did not, however, show increase of plasma homocysteine. The clearance of homoc
