Calicum and phosphorus level in patient with renal failure

Abstract

 Background

Renal failure significantly affects the balance of minerals in the body, especially calcium and phosphorus, which can lead to serious health complications.

Objectives

This study aims to measure the levels of calcium and phosphorus in patients with renal failure and compare them to healthy individuals.

Materials and Methods

A total of 100 serum samples were collected: 60 from renal failure patients and 40 from healthy individuals (control group), aged 30 to 90 years, of both genders. Samples were collected from outpatient clinics.

Results

The mean phosphorus level was 4.679 with a standard deviation of 0.9615 and variance of 0.925. The highest phosphorus level was recorded in the 71–80 age group (5.1), while the lowest was in the 41–50 group (3.4). Phosphorus levels were higher in females, with a post-dialysis mean of 4.72.
Calcium levels were highest in the 51–60 age group (9.2). The greatest variation was in the 30–40 age group. Males had higher calcium levels (mean of 8.5) than females (7.5).
A strong inverse relationship was found between calcium and phosphorus using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.

Conclusion

The study revealed significant variations in calcium and phosphorus levels based on age, gender, and dialysis status. A strong inverse correlation exists between calcium and phosphorus levels. These findings highlight the need for careful monitoring of mineral levels in renal failure patients.
