Abstract
Background: Impaired oxidative/antioxidative balance plays an important role in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of the novel marker ischemia modified albumin (IMA) and albumin adjusted-IMA (Adj-IMA) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) as well as its association with total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI).
