tion has been evaluated in PD patients.
Breath isoprene levels were not significantly dif- ferent from the normal healthy control values before,during, and after a peritoneal exchange. These find-ings suggest that, in CAPD patients, an isoprene en-dogenous overproduction does not occur, unlike in HDpatients, in whom isoprene overproduction persists,for many hours after dialysis ends, in a biphasic be-havior pattern with concentrations remaining high the next morning (a nondialysis day) (12,13).
The reasons for this different behavior are not known. An endogenous product of lipid metabolism,isoprene in man is believed to derive from the syn-thetic mevalonate pathway leading to sterols and iso- prenoid lipids (Figure 4). This metabolic pathwayappears to be strictly regulated at the level of meva- Figure 1 — Breath isoprene during continuous ambulatory lonic acid (MVA) (19–22), a low molecular weight, peritoneal dialysis. Breath samples were collected water-soluble substance, levels of which are increased immediately before first morning drainage (t0), soon after in the plasma of uremic patients before a HD session first morning drainage (t1), 1 hour after first peritoneal refilling (t2), 2 hours after first peritoneal refilling (t3), On the contrary, isoprene (molecular weight 68.12, immediately before second drainage (t4), and soon aftersecond drainage (t5). Isoprene levels are reported as melting point –146°C, boiling point 34°C), a volatile liposoluble substance, is not removed by HD but is Figure 3 — Time course of breath isoprene during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

determining the different breath isoprene behaviorpattern in HD and CAPD patients.
The first hypothesis is that, in a short space of time, HD removes great quantities of MVA, and conse-quently the MVA-regulated inhibitory mechanism,and initiates enzymatic induction mechanisms, whichcould result, after the end of the dialysis session, inthe increased respiratory exhalation of isoprene inthe biphasic behavior pattern described elsewhere(13). In CAPD patients, the slower and continuousremoval of hydrosoluble isoprene precursors does notpromote a clear isoprene overproduction.
Alternatively, intermediate mechanisms inducing isoprene overproduction may involve factors relatedto biocompatibility, to hemodynamic stress, or to otherunknown factors associated with hemodialytic proce-dures per se.
Variations in alveolar respiration do not seem to play a major role in isoprene emission: in breathsamples from dialyzed patients, no significant varia-tions were found in alveolar levels of other volatilehydrocarbons (e.g., ethane, pentane, isopentane, pro-pane, butane, and isobutane) (data not shown).
Whatever the causal mechanism(s), patients on HD, unlike those on CAPD, incur an increased iso-prene biosynthesis and a prolonged overexposure con-sequent to repeated dialysis sessions.
Thus, variations in isoprene respiratory exhalation could reflect the effect of the dialysis session on lipid Figure 4 — Branched pathway of mevalonate metabolism metabolism in uremic patients and could have reper- cussions in terms of cellular and cardiovascular easily exhaled with alveolar air, in which it can be physiopathology.
