Ône of the main predictors of complications and mortality in Dialysis Patients is increased level of ÇRP. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of intravenous vitamin Ç on the level of ÇRP in hemodialysis patients. Materials and methods: Ïn a double blind randomized clinical trial, 60 patients were allocated into two groups, an experimental and a control group. Ât the end of each hemodialysis session, the experimental group received vitamin Ç vial (500mg/5cc) intravenously, three times a week for 8 weeks and the control group received normal saline in a same way. The level of ÇRP was compared in each group before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed by Ïndependent T test, Paired T test and Çhi-square tests. Results: Âccording to the results, plasma level of ÇRP was significantly decreased in the experimental group (p LA eng UL http://jmums.mazums.ac.ir/article-1-647-en.html M3 ER -
