Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: The aim of the study was to assess the carotid intimal medial thickness in patients suffering from chronic kidney disease and to find its correlation with respect to staging of chronic kidney disease. Study was conducted in the Department of Medicine, G.R. Medical College & J.A. Group of Hospitals, Gwalior (M.P.) India. The study comprised 105 patients of Department of Medicine between March 2012 and November 2013. Out of 105 patients 70 were the patients of chronic kidney disease and 35 were age and sex matched controls (non chronic kidney disease). Hypertension was present in 62.5% and dyslipidemia was present in 30% in cases. The mean carotid intimal medial thickness of chronic kidney disease patients was 0.90 + 0.23 where as that of control was 0.63+.23 and this difference was statistically significant, p value <0.0001. In the present study chronic kidney disease patients have significantly more carotid arterial wall thickness in comparison to age matched controls. The carotid intimal medial thickness does not differ in different stages of chronic kidney disease. Keywords: Carotid intimal medial thickness, Chronic kidney disease, Hypertension, Dyslipidemia
