The purpose of the current study is to investigate whether, in patients receiving long-term hemodialysis, combined administration of oral folate and intravenous methylcobalamin is more beneficial than oral folate alone at reducing the circulating level of ADMA.
Efficacy
Confirmatory
Explanatory
Not applicable
Our primary endpoint was the effect of co-administration of intravenous methylcobalamin and oral folate versus that of oral folate alone as regards normalization of plasma homocysteine (<15 micro mol/L) and reduction of serum ADMA in hemodialysis patients.
Secondary outcomes were the changes in the augmentation index and in the ratios of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) as a transmethylation indicator and dimethylamine (DMA) to ADMA and dimethylamine to ADMA as an ADMA-hydrolysis indicator.
