“Pre and post-hemodialysis coagulation Profile in chronic kidney disease patients – A one year cross sectional study at Tertiary care centre”

Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem. Patients with end-stage renal illness are at a higher risk for bleeding, which can manifest as anything from small incidents like bruising and bleeding at the sites of venepuncture to menorrhagia and gastrointestinal blood loss. Present study aimed to assess the changes in the coagulation profile among the chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis, coagulation profile measured and analyzed pre and post dialysis.
