Background: Mortality rates are higher among patients with chronic renal failure with a good proportion of this excess burden being attributable to cardiovascular disease. This excess risk is not entirely explained by elevated traditional risk factors. Among the non-traditional risk factors, serum paraoxonase (Arylesterase) activity is an important one. Materials and Methods: It was a case-control study which included total 127 subjects, 44 were non-dialysis CKD patients, 33 Heamodialysis dependent patients and 50 healthy controls. HDL-C, Apo-A and serum paraoxonase (Arylesterase) activity was estimated and compared with normal control population. Results: Serum Arylesterase activity, a measure of PON was significantly lower in CRF (on conservative management and on hemodialysis) compared to controls. Conclusion: Measurement of anti oxidant capacity of HDL-C may improve the predictive accuracy of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, providing new strategies for the prevention and treatment of accelerated atherosclerosis in chronic renal failure.

Cardiovascular complications are emerging as the primary cause of death for patients with childhood end-stage renal disease. Children with end-stage renal failure are subjected to many of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease identified in adult patients. Dysfunction of the endothelium is presently regarded as a first but reversible step in the development of atherosclerosis. Noninvasive techniques to assess endothelial function have been recently developed and have been proven to predict future mortality in adult patients. These techniques are readily applicable to pediatric patients. Endothelial dysfunction has been demonstrated in children in all stages of renal failure. Data on pediatric patients treated with peritoneal dialysis are currently lacking, however. Considering the abundance of cardiovascular risk factors specific to treatment with peritoneal dialysis, such studies should be initiated.
