A Study of Pattern of Biochemical Changes Occuring among Patients of Acute and Chronic Renal Failure in a Tertiary Hospital of Orissa

Background: Biochemical indicators are routinely monitored to enable timely assessment of strategies&management programmes in patient care to check the effectiveness of therapy as well as prevention of dangerous metabolic disturbances. An overview of biochemical pattern of the patients can assist the clinician in making adjustments to clinical management practices

Objectives: 1. To study the biochemical pattern of acute&chronic renal failure patients. 2. To compare the pattern of biochemical changes occurring in both the groups.

Materials and Method: Around 100 patients of acute renal failure&100 patients of Chronic Renal Failure who were admitted in the hospital during September 2008 to September 2009 were examined, investigated&interviewed with the help of a pretested proforma. The pattern of biochemical changes occurring in both groups at that time was studied.

Results: The renal parameters, electrolytes&bicarbonates were more deranged in ARF whereas in CRF, anaemia, hyperparathormone, hyperphosphatemia ,&hyperlipidemia were more seen.

Conclusions: It is important to check these parameters regularly in order to prevent the complications arising out of these in order to reduce the mortality.
