Intravenous iron replacement therapy is routinely used for correction of anaemia in patients with end-stage renal failure. Free or labile iron, present both in parenteral iron formulations and in blood of haemodialysis (HD) patients, has the potential to induce severe oxidative processes. This study evaluated the acute in vivo effect of intravenous iron administration on the oxidation of plasma beta2-microglobulin (beta2m) and on its plasma levels after HD.
