Assessment of D-dimer and CRP for Cardiovascular Risk Prediction in Hemodialysis Patients
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
This study aims to assess whether two blood markers - C-reactive protein (CRP) and D-dimer - can help predict cardiovascular complications in patients undergoing regular hemodialysis. Cardiovascular disease is a common and serious problem in dialysis patients, and early detection is important. the study will include 100 adult patients from the Hemodialysis Unit at Assiut University Hospital. Participants will be divided into two groups: those with and those without known heart disease. Each participant will have a one-time blood test to measure CRP and D-dimer levels. In addition, an electrocardiogram (ECG) will be done once to check for signs of heart problems.
