Abstract
Introduction: In health, the volume and composition of body fluids vary within narrow limits, which the kidneys largely maintain. Additionally, they perform a variety of metabolic and endocrine functions. Failure of renal function ultimately results in changes to the interior milieu, which affects every organ system in the body. Chronic Kidney Disease is a clinical syndrome caused by persistent renal dysfunction that results in excretory, metabolic, and synthetic failure, resulting in the accumulation of non-protein nitrogenous substances. Once the cause of CKD is determined, additional evaluation is used to maintain or restore glomerular filtration rate. Due to the high rate of cardiovascular complications in CKD, it is critical to evaluate cardiovascular risk factors.
Aim of the Study: Our study aim is to identify Electrocardiographic and Echocardiography changes in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in patients with CKD admitted in Katihar Medical College and Hospital, Katihar. This study is cross sectional study.
Discussion: Chronic renal failure is a group of signs and symptoms referred to as uraemia. It can manifest with symptoms consistent with involvement of any organ in the body.
Conclusion: 41–50-year males were the most common affected people in our study group. Each patient was anaemic. Diabetes was the most frequently encountered ethology. LVH was the most frequently observed ECG abnormality. All patients had echocardiographic detection of cardiac changes. Echocardiography is a priceless tool for detecting early cardiac abnormalities in chronic kidney disease. Thus, echocardiography should be a routine part of the evaluation process for renal transplantation. Cardiac changes were more prevalent in patients with advanced chronic renal failure, indicating a positive correlation between cardiac changes and the severity of chronic renal failure.
