Abstract

Background: The aim is to assess metabolic complications of chronic kidney disease. Subjects and Methods: One hundred five patients with CKD of either gender was included. Glomerular filteration rate (GFR) between 15 and 60 mL/ min per 1.73 m2 was indicative of CKD. The estimation of calcium, phosphate, bicarbonate, potassium, urea etc. was performed. Results: Out of 105 patients, males constitute 60 (57.1%) and females 45 (42.9%). Age group 45-55 years had 18, 55-65 years had 37 and 65-75 years had 50 patients. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). The meanSD value of hemoglobin in age group 45-55 years was 13.04.1 gm/dl, in age group 55-65 years was 12.53.8 gm/dl and in age group 65-75 years was 11.57.6 gm/dl. The mean potassium level was 4.51.2 mEq/L, 4.21.1 mEq/L and 4.11.0 mEq/L. The mean phosphorus level was 3.72.3 mg/dL, 3.62.2 mg/dL and 3.51.7 mg/dL and the mean bicarbonate level was 28.65.7 mEq/L, 27.54.3 mEq/L and 26.46.9 mEq/L in age group 45-55 years, 55-65 years and 65-75 years respectively. Conclusion: Metabolic complications are common in patients with chronic kidney disease.
