Comparative analysis of clinical findings of hospitalized Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients

Abstract

The Human kidneys are major organs of the body for waste removal & maintaining homeostatic balance, fluid & electrolyte balance by filtering blood.  There are many disorders of kidney. One the major one is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). In the present study an effort was made to do a comparison of nutritional status of CKD patients on dialysis who underwent renal transplantation. Comparative analysis was done in pre & post transplant in terms of anthropometry, biochemical parameters, clinical examination & diet compliance. In total 30 samples were selected on the basis of inclusion criteria and comparative study in combination with statistical analysis was done. From the above study it can be concluded that nutritional status both pre and post renal transplant can be improved in terms of anthropometric, biochemical, electrolytes, clinical sign and symptoms and diet intake when a proper medical nutrition therapy is provided to the patients.
