Measurement of Serum Uric Acid, Phosphate and Calcium Pre and Post Hemodialysis

Abstract

This study was done to measure the serum uric acid, phosphate and calcium level pre and post dialysis.50 patients with chronic renal failure and 20 apparently healthy individuals as control group were involved. Uric acid, calcium and phosphate levels were determined for all patients and the control group and the result was analyzed using SPSS. The mean of uric acid pre dialysis is significantly raised compared with that of the control group (9.4± 2.3 versus 3.9±0.9) mg/dl. The mean of uric acid level post dialysis decreased after dialysis compared with that of before dialysis (2.9± 1.3versus 9.4±2.3) mg/dl and P.value 0.00 The mean of calcium pre dialysis is significantly decreased compared with that of the control group (5.4± 0.85 versus 9.8±0.8) mg/dl. And the mean of calcium level post dialysis decreased after dialysis compared with that of before dialysis (4.4±1.07 versus 5.4± 0.85) mg/dl. The mean of phosphate pre dialysis is significantly raised compared with that of the control group (5.7± 2.04 versus 3.7±0.46) mg/dl. And it is decreased after dialysis compared with that of before dialysis (3.1± 1.3versus 5.7±2.04) mg/dl and P.value 0.00 There is no correlation between serum uric acid, phosphate and calcium levels with the duration of the disease.
