Oxidative stress has been implicated in various pathological systems that are prevalent in CKD. Chronic inflammation is provoked by oxidative stress and chronic degenerative diseases. The inflammatory cells are sources of free radicals in the forms of reactive O2 and nitrogen species, although ROS are considered as the most responsible factor in CKD.
