Urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine levels increase after reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction and may predict subsequent cardiac events

Am J Cardiol. 2005 Feb 15;95(4):514-7. doi: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2004.09.062.

Abstract

We assessed serial changes in oxidative stress in patients with acute myocardial infarction by measuring urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine excretion. The urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine creatinine levels peaked at 4 hours after reperfusion therapy and the levels were higher in the cardiac event group than in the noncardiac event group before and after reperfusion.
