Weight, height, blood pressure, cholesterol level, HA1c and random blood sugar were measured. Also, kidney function tests, serum albumin and urine analysis were done.

Nearly two thirds of CKD patients were males while one third was female. Also, the current study demonstrated a relation between CKD with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and hypercholesterolemia.
