Abstract Anthropometric measurements were significantly lower in HD & HDF groups compared with control group, Obestatin level was significantly higher in HD & HDF groups in comparison to control group. (P value < 0.000), with higher obestatin reduction ratio post sessions in HDF group than HD group. (P value < 0.001). Plasma obestatin concentration were negatively correlated with BMI & S. iron (P value < 0.05), while positively correlated with creatinine, urea, uric acid and CRP (P value < 0.05). Conclusion: - The current observational data suggests obestatin hormone was elevated in prevalent HD patients than control group & this hormone might be implicated in renal functions and markers of inflammation. |
