Study of homocysteine and its correlation with biochemical parameters in patients with chronic renal failure

Homocysteine is an amino acid produced when proteins are broken down. A high homocysteine level, also called hyperhomocysteinemia, can contribute to arterial damage and blood clots in your vessels. Hyperhomocysteinemia (Hhcy) occurs chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients because of impaired renal metabolism reduced excretion Chronic failure a condition involving decrease the kidneys' ability filter waste fluid from blood. It chronic, meaning that develops over long period time not reversible. The commonly known as (CKD). aim study measure levels for with before dialysis find relationship between biochemical parameters such B12, folic acid, ferritin albumin. Study Design: Blood samples were obtained (130) men women. was divided into (68) hemodialysis patients, aged (20-80) years (62) control, years, they campared.
