Key information

About this study

105 CKD patients (35 early (EG), 35pre-dialysis (PDG) and 35 hemodialysis (HDG)groups and 105 age and gender matched healthy controls were assessed for prevalence and severity of apical periodontitis and oral disease burden . Inflammatory (hsCRP and ferritin) and nutritional (urea and creatinine) markers were estimated and eGFR was calculated for the study population. Logistic regression was used to determine the possible association between CKD and AP in study population and Linear regression was performed to evaluate the possible association between systemic markers and endodontic burden (EB) in experimental group.

Biological

To observe levels of CKD markers :Levels of serum keratinise ,urea, eGFR, and assessment of Oral health status, apical periodontitis

systemic inflammatory marker, Oral health status, apical periodontitis

Biological

estimation of hs-CRP levels, and assessment of Oral health status, apical periodontitis

Primary outcomes

  1. Periapical Index(PAI)

    Time frame: 1 year

    Periodical status will be assessed in periodical radiograph and scoring of periapical index will be done according to size and periphery of peri-apical radiolucency with coding 1 to 5

  2. eGFR

    Time frame: 1 year

    BY BLOOD SAMPLE measured in mL/min/1.73m2

  3. serum creatinine

    Time frame: 1 year

    BY BLOOD SAMPLE measured in mg/dL

  4. hs-CRP

    Time frame: 1 year

    HIGH SENSITIVE C-reactive protein measured by ELISA kit in mg/L

  5. Blood urea

    Time frame: 1 year

    measured by collecting blood sample in mg/dL
