Correlation Between Chronic Kidney Diseases and Hematolgical Data in Sabratha Hospital in Libya

Abstract

In chronic kidney failure, there is impairment in the excretion of toxic non-volatile solutes, with consequent increase in the plasma concentrations of all metabolites derived mainly from protein metabolism, characterized by increased urea and creatinine, the prevalence and severity of anemia are related to the kidney disease stage and the relative deficiency or reduction in erythropoietin production is the main cause. This study aimed at checking the correlation between anemia and chronic kidney diseases in patients who underwent hemodialysis in Sabratha Hospital in the West of Libya. This study was conducted on 60 patients (36 males and 24 females) with chronic renal failure from October 2015 to April 2016 and a group of 40 (20 males and 20 females) individuals as control. The results of the study concluded that there is a correlation between progression of chronic kidney diseases and reduction in hemoglobin, red blood cells count, hematocrit, and serum iron.Keywords: Chronic kidney diseases, Chronic kidney disease, Anemia, Renal failure

The Impact of Antihypertensive Drug Therapy in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

“…Criteria for CKD (Either of the following presents for>3 mo): Markers of kidney damage (one or more): Albuminuria (ACR ≥ 30 mg/g), Urine sediment abnormalities, Electrolyte and other abnormalities due to tubular disorders, Pathological abnormalities detected by histology, Structural abnormalities detected by imaging, History of kidney transplantation; Decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR)<60 ml/min/1.73m 2 CKD and ESRD represent worldwide public health problems with an epidemic extent [2]. [3,4]. From 1990-2013 the age-adjusted death rates attributable to CKD increased by 36.9% in 188 countries surveyed and CKD is now the 19th leading cause of life years lost [5].…”

Pill Burden, Drug Class Distribution and Financial Burden for Buying Medicines in Different Modalities of Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: Cross-Sectional Study

“…In CKD, direct healthcare expenditure is greater in patients with anemia than in those without [13] and quality of life issues (ex. fatigue, reduced productivity) are common [14,15]. Recently in many Indian hospitals, so many schemes are being implemented.…”

Complex Technological and Biological Research of Solutions for Peritoneal Dialysis

“…Progression of CKD leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Patients with ESRD require renal replacement therapy (RRT) (haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis (PD) and kidney transplantation) [1][2][3]. Treatment of ESRD is cost prohibitive for most countries.…”

“…is observed in India. The prevalence of PD patients increases in both developed and developing countries [1][2][3]. PD is widely documented to cost less to health care systems in the world.…”
