SERUM PHOSPHATE LEVELS AND ITS CORRELATION WITH CAROTID INTIMA MEDIA THICKNESS IN CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Dr. Naveen R

Abstract :

This is a hospital based observational study done over a span of 6 months, wherein the various factors that influence atherosclerosis in CKD patients were studied. Among the factors that were studied apart from traditional risk factors like age, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, phosphorus, calcium phosphorus product, newer markers of atherosclerosis namely non HDL cholesterol and non HDL cholesterol phosphorus product were also compared. Due to confounding effects of various interlinked risk factors, multivariate analysis was done. Patients with AKI, previous stroke, coronary artery disease, carotid surgery or traumawere excluded from study.

Among the various parameters, smoking, phosphorus, calcium– phosphorus product, phosphorus–non HDL cholesterol correlated significantly with CAIMT and hence atherosclerosis. Serum phosphorus is a significant independent risk factor for atherosclerosis in CKD patients. Phosphorus non HDL product, Calcium–Phosphorus product, smoking also correlated strongly with CAIMT. Non HDL cholesterol independently didn’t influence CAIMT significantly in this study, but the product of Phosphorus and non HDL cholesterol correlated significantly with CAIMT.
