Abstract

Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Oxidative stress has been proposed to play a role in the development of cardiovascular disease among these patients. Methods:Weconducted a randomized, double-blind trial in 93 patients (Cockcroft-Gault equation: creatinine clearance, 38±15 [mean±SD] mL/min per 1.73 m
