Correlation between cardiac markers and serum phosphate levels in patients with newly diagnosed Chronic Kidney Disease

Aim: to determine the correlation between cardiac markers and serum phosphate levels in patients with newly diagnosed stage 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease not yet undergoing hemodialysis. methodology: it was a cross-sectional study done in department of medicine,mayo hospital,lahore from july to december 2015. a total of 100 newly diagnosed patient of stage 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease not yet undergoing hemodialysis were enrolled through outpatient department of medicine,mayo hospital,lahore. blood samples were obtained for the assessment of serum cardiac troponin t level,creatinine kinase-mb (ckmb) and serum phosphate. reports were assessed and levels were noted. results: out of 100 cases,48(48%) were male and 52(52%) were females,the mean age was calculated as 48.21±6.99 years,correlation between mean serum phosphate level and cardiac troponin t levels was calculated which showed r value as 0.9273. correlation between mean serum phosphate level and ck-mb levels was calculated which showed r value as 0.7545. conclusion: we concluded that the correlation is positive between cardiac markers and serum phosphate levels in patients with newly diagnosed stage 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease not yet undergoing hemodialysis.
