Abstract :

Present case-control study explored the associations between the role of urea and creatinine levels in kidney patients. Sixty patients with chronic Kidney disease participated in this study; their age ranged from 28-60 years during the period from March 2019 until August 2019 at the National Hematological Center/ Al-Mustansiryah University. They were compared with 30 subjects as control group. A sample of 60 Iraqi patients were divided into two groups, the first over 50 years old were 42 samples, while the second group for patients under the age of 50 years recorded 18 samples, and the samples of healthy people recorded only 30 samples.Current study was designed to estimate the status of renal function in the blood and electrolytes in the serum were measured for all patients.
