- Abstract
Introduction: The Na/K ratio in urine stands for the dietary of sodium and potassium intake in patients with chronic kidney disease remains unclear for the renal progression. We aimed to determine the risk of progression of chronic kidney disease based on the Na/K ratio in a 24-hour urine collection. Materials and Methods: The study includes 30 chronic renal failure (CRF) patients of both sexes, diagnosed on the basis of clinical findings. The control group included 30 healthy individuals of both sexes. The cases were grouped as follows: Group I: Normal healthy controls = 30 cases. Group II: CRF cases = 30 cases. Results and Discussion: The present study was done with an aim to study of serum sodium and serum potassium in CRF patients. The comparison of serum sodium and serum potassium levels between control cases and CRF cases was found to be statistically significant. Serum sodium level decrease and serum potassium level were found elevated in CRF cases as compare to control cases. Conclusion: Serum sodium level and serum potassium level have some prognostic significance in chronic renal diseases, i.e., when patient improves, the level returns toward normal and the level rises when patient deteriorates.
