Evaluation of Urea and Creatinine Levels in Chronic Renal Failure in Wasit province

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic ailment resulting in a gradual and persistent worsening of the kidney functioning, which results in a substantial influence on the body fluid and electrolyte balance and the buildup of toxic wastes. The research was done in Wasit Governorate and in partnership with Al-Zahraa General Hospital and Martyr Dr. Fayrouz Hospital. A cross-section of sixty patients was selected, comprising patients with chronic kidney disease and healthy people and a range from 21 to 98 years old. A collection and analysis of samples were done at the laboratory, where urea and creatinine concentrations of the blood of the participants were examined. The percentages were used to depict the resulting data in terms of age groups, gender segregation (male and female), and urea and creatinine levels. The correlation between these health variables and kidney failure complications, such as anemia and blood pressure, was determined. Findings revealed that urea and creatinine levels were significantly surged in patients with kidney failure as compared to healthy people. That is an explicit indication of deterioration of kidney functions. It was also established that males showed more elevated creatinine levels than females, with females having more anemia levels. These findings show that monitoring biomarkers regularly is essential to reduce the complications of chronic kidney failure and improve the quality of life of patients.
