Popis: Background & Aims: The link between Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) has long been established. Hyperuricemia and inflammatory markers such as hs-CRP are considered to be non-traditional risk factors for cardiovascular risk in CKD patients. The aim of this study was to estimate serum hs-CRP and uric acid levels in patients with chronic kidney disease along with age and sex matched healthy controls and see whether they are statistically significant or not. Materials & Methods: In this case-control study, totally 30 cases with ages varied from 30-70 years and 30 age and sex matched controls were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Serum CRP and Uric Acid were analyzed on Beckman Coulter AU-480 fully automated analyser, by Turbidimetric end point method and Modified Trinder end point method, respectively. Qualitative data is expressed as proportion and percentage while quantitative data is expressed as mean+SD. Statistical analysis is done using Microsoft Excel sheet and Graph pad software. A p value
