The risk subclinical atherosclerosis can be predicted by measurements the intima-media thickness carotid artery. objective this studyisto study therelation between serum levels Carotid early stages CKD. Materials Methods: This was conducted at SRN Hospital, Prayagraj Microdiagnostics. design adopted prospective observational. A total 270 newly diagnosed CKD patients were enrolled as cases while 90 without taken control. Highresolution ultrasonography utilised measure artery thickening. Serum performed beginning study, along other baseline investigations repeated on 6th 9th months respectively. Results: Among case group CKD, mean age 54.8+2.1 years male female proportions representing 62% 38%, respectively control consisted distribution 51.0 + 2.1 male-female proportion 58% 42%, It observed that high than controls. statistically significant 0.01 thickness. Conclusion: Our clearly establishes strong CIMT indicating plays an important role development vascular calcifications Subclinical monitoring their level.
