Measurement of some biochemical values in hemodialysis patients in Baghdad

Abstract EN

One hundred of dialysis patients' mean age (51.18 ± 8.28) years and one hundred healthy control group, where carried out from different hospitals of Baghdad city, during the period between November / 2012 until March / 2013.

Blood samples were collected before dialyzing for estimation the concentration of urea, creatinine, uric acid, random blood sugar, calcium and cholesterol by enzymatic method detected spectrophotometerically.

The aim of this study is to determine concentration of urea, creatinine, uric acid, RBS, calcium and cholesterol in hemodialysis patients in Baghdad.

The results showed that there were highly significant increases (P < 0.01) in the mean of creatinine, urea, uric acid and RBS for patients (587.86μmol / l, 25.57 mmol / l, 414.36mmol / l and 6.47mmol / l) compared to the mean of healthy control (88.60 μmol / l, 5.07mmol/l, 270.76mmol / l and 4.65mmol / l) was detected.

Also there was highly significant decrease (P < 0.01) in the mean of calcium and cholesterol for patients (1.93mmol / l and3.33mmol / l) compared to the mean of healthy control (2.34mmol / l and5.02mmol / l).

It is concluded that in hemodialysis was associated with the higher levels of urea, creatinine, uric acid and RBS with low level of cholesterol and calcium.
