Materials and Methods: Blood samples of thirty patients (before hameodialysis) were collected to estimate the parameters of the δ-ALA-D activity in red blood cell (RBC), the serum levels of iron, zinc and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and to compare with the thirty blood samples in the control group. Results: The results showed that the haemodialysis patients had a significant reduction inRBC count, haemoglobin concentration and haematocrit compared to the control group (P SP - 611 EP - 612 AU - Zargari, Mahriar AU - Motallebi Reikandeh, Samineh AD - Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences KW - Delta-ALA-D KW - Haemodialysis KW - Zinc KW - Iron KW - TBARS UR - http://feyz.kaums.ac.ir/article-1-1767-en.html ER -
