Effects of Hemodialysis on Thiol-Disulphide Homeostasis in Critically Ill Pediatric Patients with Acute Kidney Injury

Table 3

Comparison of thiol/disulphide homeostatic parameters in hemodialysis group.

	Pre-dialysis	Post-dialysis	p
	Median (Q1-Q3)	Median (Q1-Q3)
Native thiol (µmol/L)	230.70 (182.63-293.60)	294.45 (244.58-359.95)	0.003
Total thiol (µmol/L)	256.45 (179.75-318-73)	324.05 (276.00-410.63)	0.003
Disulphide (µmol/L)	13.50 (10.56-17.31)	15.35 (12.92-21.15)	0.021
Disulphide/native thiol (%)	5.62 (4.44-7.88)	6.15 (4.16-7.77)	0.747
Disulphide/total thiol (%)	5.08 (4.03-6.96)	5.47 (3.84-6.72)	0.778
Native thiol/total thiol (%)	89.00 (85.50-91.83)	89.70 (86.54-92.46)	0.841
