A comparative study between some physiological parameters for diabetic and non-diabetic renal failure patients in Al-Zawiya Center for the treatment of kidney diseases

Abstract

Background and objective: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive and irreversible illness resulting in renal failure that mostly caused by diabetes mellitus complications. It is worth mentioning that prevalence of CKD in Libya is still unknown. Therefore this study aimed to compare the results of some physiological variables cohort of diabetic and non-diabetic renal failure patients, who are receiving dialysis sessions at Al-Zawia Center for the treatment of kidney diseases. Methods: The medical analyses results for 120 patients (70 males & 50 females) were reviewed from the Center records. The average results for each patient were taken separately for the following parameters: (Hbg), (Na), (K) and (Cl). Results: The results showed that 98.33% of cases had a low Hbg rate. Also 33.33% of studied cases had low Na levels. High level of K at 61.11% of diabetic cases and in 33.22% of non-diabetics. Finally, 38.34% of diabetics and 32.22% of non-diabetics had low Cl values. Conclusions: In this study, the results showed that there were differences in many physiological parameters in patients with renal failure, the changes was more pronounced in patients who are diabetics in combination with renal failure.
