    Abstract:
    Overall 14 patients with chronic renal failure treated by hemodialysis were examined. The content of the key metabolites of the arachidonic cascade thromboxane B2, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha and 12-hydroxyeicosatetraene acid (12-HETE) in blood plasma was reduced in the patients as compared to donors. By the end of hemodialysis, part of the patients showed a tendency towards its normalization, however, no complete recovery was practically recorded. Derangement of the formation of thromboxane A2, prostacyclin and 12-HETE in uremia is likely to be related to reverse inhibition of the function of platelet cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase by plasma inhibitor. The recovery of the function can be attained after adequate hemodialysis.
