PARAOXONASE ENZYME ACTIVITY AND ITS RELATION TO LIPID PROFILE IN UREMIC PATIENTS UNDERGOING HAEMODIALYSIS.

Abstract

Renal failure is the cessation of renal function, resulting in biochemical, rpetabolic, fluid, electrolyte and acid-base derangement in the individuals' internal environment that seriously threaten life. Chronic renal failure ts defined as a functional diagnosis characterized by a slowly progressive and often insidious irreversible destruction m functioning nephron mass causmg ill health, usually referred as uremta. End-stage renal failure is the degree of chronic renal failure that without renal replacement would result in death. Most patients with end-stage renal disease [ESRD] (97.1%) undergoing intermittent hemodiaslysis treatment while a minority (2.9%) is treated by peritoneal dialysis.
