Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is a tryptophan-degrading enzyme belonging to the kynurenine pathway. IDO activity has been suggested as a biomarker for diagnosis of chronic kidney disease. The aim of the study was to estimate the level of IDO, urea, creatinine, uric acid, phosphate, calcium, albumin, MDA, GSH, and activity of peroxidase, catalase, arylesterase in the serum of chronic renal failure (CRF) patients treated with dialysis compared to the healthy control group. The results showed a significant increment in IDO level in patients compared with the control. Linear regression analysis using the Pearson correlation coefficient showed that increased IDO level correlates positively with urea, creatinine, uric acid, phosphate, MDA level and peroxidase activity whereas negatively with albumin, calcium, glutathione level, catalase activity and glomerular filtration rate. We concluded that IDO level might be a possible marker of oxidative stress and inflammation in patients with CRF.
