Abstract :

Chronic kidney disease(CKD) is defined as an absolute reduction in glomerular filtration rate below 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 for 3 months or more, with or without other evidence of kidney damage or the presence of kidney damage for 3 months or more, as evidenced by structural or functional abnormalities of kidney, with or without reductions in GFR. End stage kidney failure denotes CKD that necessitates kidney replacement therapy (dialysis) or kidney transplantation. Patients with ESRD who require renal replacement therapy (RRT) will have to be maintained on either hemodialysis(HD) or peritoneal dialysis(PD). Aims and Objectives 1– To study various clinical features in patients with ESRD on HD or PD 2– To compare hematological parameters in patients of ESRD on HD or PD Materials and methods– This prospective study was conducted in 34 patients of ESRD in Department of Medicine, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre And Hospital, Mumbai from July 2007 to July 2010.All patients of ESRD who were either on HD or PD were selected. These patients were subjected to thorough clinical examination and laboratory investigations.Statistical analysis was performed with software SPSS version 15. Conclusion– ESRD has wide clinical and hematological spectrum. Thorough clinical assessment and detail lab investigations are vital for staging and prognosis. Findings of pedal edema, oliguria, dyspnea and anemia are commonly seen in this study.
