Determining Some Biochemical Parameters and Screening for Hepatitis B and C in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in Tikrit City

Chronic renal failure is a life-threatening disease. This study aimed to examine some biochemical and hematological variables and liver C virus B and C in renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis and compare these results with healthy individuals after ensuring their safety. The results of the study were statistically analyzed using SAS. The results of this study showed significant differences and an increase in each of urea, creatinine and blood sugar compared to the healthy control group. As for the parathyroid hormone, there was a clear increase and a decrease in each of calcium and vitamin D3 and an increase in phosphorus. The blood indicators of chronic renal failure patients showed a decrease in each of hemoglobin, packed cell volume, platelets and iron levels in both males and females compared to the control group. As for liver functions in renal failure patients, the results showed an increase in each of GOT, GPT and ALP and a significant decrease in each of total serum protein and albumin. When investigating hepatitis C and B viruses, this study showed the presence of hepatitis B virus in 20% in chronic renal failure patients. The incidence of hepatitis viruses in patients with chronic renal failure was 13%, and no hepatitis viruses were found in the healthy control group.
