| Abstract |
The mortality rate of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients that have undergone renal replacement therapy is very high due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Some studies have indicated that cyclosporine A, a drug used to prevent transplant rejection, is associated with bone loss following transplantation. Furthermore, it has an oxidative effect on circulating lipids. Its prooxidant effect on cell membranes causes calcium release. This study aimed to examine whether or not renal transplantation result in improvement in oxidative stress and to assess the association between oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) and some variables in the prediction of CVD risk in Renal Transplantation (RT) patients that were compared with the control group. A total number of 30 CKD patients were recruited to evaluate time dependent changes in biomarker of OS before and after RT. The ox-LDL, lipid metabolism parameters, CsA, creatinine, calcium and phosphate were assessed both before RT, 10 days and 6 months after RT in comparison with the control group (n = 30). Over 6 months, ox-LDL concentration changed from 79.7 ± 9.7 to 72 ± 7 mU/mL (p < 0.009). calcium phosphate level was positively correlated with the concentration of ox-LDL (R = 0.467, p = 0.011) and cyclosporine (R = 0.419, p = 0.024) 6 months after transplantation. The findings indicated that restoring renal function by transplantation, improves uremia induced oxidative stress. calcium phosphate product, as an independent risk factor for CVD, correlates with ox-LDL before RT and 6 months after RT. Calcium phosphate product correlates with cyclosporine in the RT group, too. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 September 2016.
All research outputs
#17,285,668
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Jornal Brasileiro de Nefrologia
#167
of 363 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#242,384
of 399,674 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Jornal Brasileiro de Nefrologia
#6
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 363 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.5. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 399,674 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
