Abstract

Thirty subjects with end stage renal disease were selected for the study (Group A) with 30 normal healthy subjects as control (Group B). Routine investigations i.e. Hb, platelets and absolute values were done by hematology auto analyzer and specific investigations like serum and red cell folate were done by commercially available kits. Results were analyzed by using students ‘t’ test and level of significance was done. A significant decreased in serum and red cell folate in end stage renal disease patients as compared to control. Hb, PCV and Platelets were also reduced in patients with end stage renal disease.
