Core Tip	Chronic inflammation is highly prevalent in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). The aim of this study was to evaluate determinants of inflammatory markers in CRF patients. One hundred fifty four CRF patients were divided into 6 groups according to the National Kidney Foundation classification. Tumor necrosis factor-?, interleukin-1?, interleukin-6 values were elevated in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients compared to the other groups of CRF patients. Compared to others stages of CRF patients, total homocysteine, C-reactive protein, ferritin and fibrinogen were increased in HD and PD patients while; transferrin was decreased only in PD. CRF was associated with an enhanced inflammatory reaction existing already at primary stages. This situation was aggravated by the progression disease and dialysis procedure.
