Mitochondrial DNA copy number correlates with oxidative stress and predicts mortality in nondiabetic hemodialysis patients.
Conclusions: Nondiabetic hemodialysis patients had higher oxidative stress and mtDNA copy numbers than healthy subjects. The mtDNA copy number correlates with oxidative stress and predicts mortality in nondiabetic hemodialysis patients.
