As a treatment method for chronic renal failure (CRF), hemodialysis (HD) alters inorganic components containing trace elements. It was shown that decreased renal function is accompanied by insufficient antioxidant systems and/or increased free oxygen radicals. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of HD on trace element levels and oxidative stress markers.
