| Popis: | INTRODUCTION: Various metabolic changes were elaborated in patients with chronic kidney disease which often require biochemical analysis of blood regularly. Saliva analysis has many advantages as an alternative to blood analysis. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate levels of some parameters in saliva and serum including: urea, creatinine, calcium and phosphorus in children undergoing hemodialysis and to determine the correlation between saliva and serum regarding these parameters in order to evaluate salivary diagnostic potential. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross sectional analytical study was conducted on children undergoing hemodialysis in Alexandria University Children’s Hospital (AUCH). A total of 20 patients were included in the present study of whom, 10 were boys (50%) and 10 were girls (50%) with a mean age 8.85 ± 2.74. Serum and salivary samples were collected from the participants for analysis. Serum tests including Urea, creatinine (Cr), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and salivary tests including Urea, Cr, Ca and P were recorded in all subjects. RESULTS: There was significant a positive correlation (P |
