Toxic and Essential trace Elements Regularly Measurement and Monitoring Should be Considered in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Undergoing Maintenance Dialysis |Biomedgrid

People with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) receive maintenance dialysis as an effective treatment. Accumulation of toxic elements and loss of essential metals through dialysis is not considered a serious issue by doctors. Therefore, physicians do not order trace elements for dialysis patients in routine or regular evaluations. Revisioning the reference range of trace elements in CKD patients and equipping clinical laboratories with facilities to measure these elements is another aspect of care and management of CKD patients. Therefore, we suggest revising the clinical guidelines for the management of CKD patients based on the facts about the role of trace and toxic elements on patient morbidity.
