Estimation of total serum fucose in patients with end-stage renal disease .

Abstract EN

The objective of the study: is to compare between concentration of total serum fucose in normal healthy controls and patient with end-stage renal disease.

Design: cross-sectional study of patients with end-stage renal disease Setting: Al- Kut hospital Department of renal dialysis in Al- Kut city.

Patients and Method:-This cross-sectional study incorporated patients with end-stage renal disease (October 2011 to September 2012) in Al- Kut hospital Department of renal dialysis.

Results: The patients were arranged into two groups, group 1 (normal healthy controls) and group 2(patients with end-stage renal disease).

Regarding group 1 (which were 29 individual).

Regarding group 2 which represents the patients with end-stage renal disease (there were 25patients).the concentration of total serum fucose was increased in patients with end-stage renal disease and also we found that there is positive relationship between the level of the total serum fucose and the serum creatinine and blood urea .

Conclusions: the level of total serum fucose increase in patients with end-stage renal disease and this level have positive relationship with level of serum creatinine and blood urea.
