Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease is a chronic kidney illness defined by the renal system's failure to maintain normal and low levels of potassium, water, sodium, hematocrit, blood pressure, protein metabolism products, and acid-base balance. The most prevalent underlying causes are hypertension and diabetes. 

Aim: The current study aimed to investigate the etiology, biochemical profile, and clinical profile of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods: The current study included a total of 98 patients with chronic kidney disease. The etiology, biochemical profile, and clinical profile of subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Results: The current study found that diabetic nephropathy, followed by hypertension nephropathy, was the most frequent cause of chronic kidney disease. The disease's typical clinical presentation includes hypertension, pedal edema, pallor, lower limb swelling, and widespread weakness.

Conclusion: The current study shows that chronic kidney disease is a significant condition, with diabetic nephropathy being the most prevalent cause, and the most common presenting symptoms and signs being widespread weakness, oliguria, pedal edema, hypertension, and anemia. Early identification and care of CKD can prevent disease development and the need for a kidney transplant.
