INCREASED OXIDATIVE STRESS IN THE BLOOD OF OSTOMY PATIENTS
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates a stoma that aims to construct a new path for the output of feces or urine. The relationship of oxidative stress (OxS) markers in patients with ostomy is still poorly described. OBJECTIVE: The present study was aimed at investigating the changes in oxidative stress parameters in peripheral blood collected from ostomy patients when compared with a healthy control group. METHODS: It was evaluated 29 ostomy patients and 30 healthy control patients. The oxidative stress parameters evaluated were: lipid peroxidation [lipid hydroperoxide (LPO), 8-isoprostane (8-ISO) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE)], protein oxidation and nitration [carbonyl and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT)] and DNA oxidation [8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHDG)] in serum from ostomy patients compared to health controls. RESULTS: The data showed an increase of LPO, 8-ISO, 4-HNE, 3-NT and 8-OHDG in serum collected from ostomy patients when compared to healthy controls. CONCLUSION: The findings support the hypothesis that ostomy triggers the oxidative stress observed in the blood collected from these patients.
