Abstract
To assess the association of genetic and Biochemical markers with GFR among renal failure patients. The
method in chronic kidney disease (CKD) was evaluated depending on GFR calculation using Serum Creatinine and
Cystatin C equations, using the standardized definition from the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative of the
National Kidney Foundation (K/DOQI) practice guideline. The results in this study the means ± SD for GFR ml/min/1.73
m2 using creatinine and statin C were 19.8163 ±1.3068 and 19.6122±1.2461, respectively. Of the 103 patients, 50/103
(48.5%), 33/103(32%) and 20/103 (19.5%) were with GRF levels <15, 16-30 and 31+, respectively. In conclusion
Patients with CKD or renal failure have a diverse biochemical values which necessitate the urgent need for implantation
of health strategies that can assist in the control of the disease and management of patients with disease.
