Salivary Urea Creatinine and GFR Estimation in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a type of kidney disease in which there is gradual loss of kidney function over a period of months or years. Causes of chronic kidney disease include Diabetes Mellitus, Systemic Hypertension, Glomerulonephritis, and Polycystic Kidney Disease with family history of Chronic kidney Disease. Blood urea and serum creatinine is important in normal functioning of the kidney and estimation of both blood urea and serum creatinine helps in diagnosis of CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE. Serum analysis is an invasive and painful procedure. It would be highly beneficial if a noninvasive alternative process to serum analysis were identified1. Saliva can be collected noninvasively, repeatedly, and without the use of healthcare personnel. In this study we compare serum and salivary urea and creatinine levels in patients with CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE and AGE AND SEX matched healthy controls, and to determine if salivary creatinine and urea levels can be used to diagnose CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE.
