Background. Uremic toxins are considered cardiovascular and mortality risk factors in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Both p-cresol and indoxyl sulfate have been shown to induce oxidative stress in vitro and subsequent endothelial dysfunction in uremic patients. Our study evaluated the levels of p-cresol and indoxyl sulfate, and whether they contribute to the progression of CKD in transplant recipients.Methods. We retrospectively evaluated 95 patients who had received a transplant from February 1987 to June 2010 in our center; the recipients had a mean transplant duration of 5.3 +/- 4.9 years and a mean age of 47.8 +/- 14.1 years. Among them, 56.8% (54/95) were male. Patients with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) were selected for group 1 (n = 35), and those with GFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) were selected for group 2 (n = 60). Demographic and clinical data were compared between groups. Serum and urine levels of p-cresol and indoxyl sulfate were also obtained.Results. Baseline serum p-cresol and indoxyl sulfate levels were significantly higher in advanced CKD stages (P = .001 and
