Outcome of “Renal Diet Therapy and Deep Breathing Exercises” on Biochemical Parameters in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients of Shere Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) Soura Srinagar Kashmir
Journal Title: Epidemiology International - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is an irreversible and progressive reduction of renal tissue function which affects almost all other systems of the body. It often goes undiagnosed and therefore remains undertreated. For this reason, various biochemical parameters such as: serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, urinary protein, urinary albumin, urinary creatinine and Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) act as baseline predictors in early detection and management of CKD manifestations. Hence the present study was undertaken to find out the outcome of “Renal diet therapy and Deep breathing exercises” on 21 kidney related biochemical parameters among adult CKD patients who were admitted in SKIMS from 5th March 2012 to 31st July 2013.A total of 200 adult CKD patients being randomly selected were studied in two groups (experimental=100; control=100). The findings of the study revealed that CKD patients in the experimental group who received “Renal diet therapy and Deep breathing exercises” reported a considerable improvement (p≤0.05) in 11 biochemical parameters including: fasting serum glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, chloride, hematocrit and platelets as compared to CKD patients in control group who received routine care, had shown a considerable improvement (p≤0.05) in only 5 biochemical parameters such as: fasting serum glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, calcium and phosphorus. Hence, it can be inferred that “Renal diet therapy and Deep breathing exercises” were effective in regulating various biochemical parameters within normal level in CKD patients. However, the long-term efficacy of these non-pharmacological therapies need to be investigated.
