Hemodialysate (HD) samples collected from the end stage renal disease patients (ESRD Pts) were used for search for possible correlation between the intensity of HD visible auto-fluorescence (VF) detected at 420 nm as well as their optical absorption at 320 nm and the mortality events among the Pts. Previous but strongly promising correlations has been found in both cases which deserve further supplementation and examination. Investigation of possible influence of quenchers onto the VF intensity has been carried out. Endogenous inorganic ions present in biological fluids (serum, urine and HD) (Na, K, Ca, Mg and ammonia) do not affect the VF intensity remarkably but exogenous Al ions do that indirectly and specifically. Carbon based entities (nanoparticles of graphene type, humins) quench the VF effectively according to the Stern-Volmer law. The quenching phenomena and influence of aluminium must be taken into account by the further investigations, medical care and nutrition.
Comparative optical study of biofluids (serum, urine, hemodialysate) and carbon nanodots (CND) aqueous solutions has been done. Biofluids were collected from chronic kidney diseases patients (CKD Pts) as well as from normal controls (NCs). Sugar derived CND and oxidized graphene solutions were prepared and used. Fluorescence and excitation spectra have mainly been measured and compared for two sets of subjects. For both family of subjects typical fluorescence with parameters λexсmax/ λemmax = 320±5/420±5 nm is observed and has many analogeous properties. New effective method of additional similarity identification with use of aluminum salts Al2 (SO4)3, Al (N03)3 and AlCl3 is proposed. Aluminum ions induce the fluorescence band at 380 nm in all substances investigated. Plenty of similar features (12) in optical properties create a united platform for further investigation of the topic - the nature of endogenous near UV and visible fluorescence in biofluids and CND.
