Background: The dynamics of oxidation/reduction control system activities using reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) and biological antioxidant potential (BAP) in acute stage patients was evaulated to understand the mechanism of vascular injury and remodeling in Kawasaki disease (KD). Methods and Results: ROM, BAP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-1,2,6, and tumour necrosis factor-α in 19 KD patients were measured. ROM decreased in good correlation only with hs-CRP (P<0.05) at 2 weeks after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Patients were further classified as responding well (Group A) or responding poorly (Group B) to IVIG. Both treatment groups had significantly higher ROM values than the control group (P<0.01). ROM decreased in Group A both immediately and 2 weeks after the IVIG treatment (P<0.05), but it did not decrease in Group B until 2 weeks post-treatment (P<0.01). BAP levels were unremarkable in Group A, but were significantly lower in Group B than in both other groups (P<0.05). BAP increased in Group A 2 weeks after IVIG treatment (P<0.01), but remained low in Group B (P<0.01). Conclusions: Acute stage KD patients suffer from obvious hyperoxidant stress, and improved in response to IVIG treatment in most patients. Blood BAP level might be a useful index for predicting responsiveness to IVIG the treatment. (Circ J 2011; 75: 2453-2459)
