effects of chronic renal failure

high frequency of symptomat ic or si lent pancreat ichas been reported in patients with chronic renaland in patients undergoing haemodialysis. Elevationeatic enzymes, including serum amylase and lipase, islm~rk of pancreatitis.However,the recognition ofmoderate elevation in serum amylase andlipasewith renal failure suggests the use of caution inerpretatlon of increased values of serum amylase andas an indicator of pancreatic diseasein theseis study was carried out to evaluate serum amylasease values in chronic renal failure patients undertreatment, and patients under regular haemodialysis,ua t e the effect of haemodialysis on both enzymes.rum amylase and lipase activities were studied in3es.3nty patients suffering from chronic renalfailure,iical treatment (conservative group).enty patients suffering from chronic renalfailure,egular haemodialysis,estimated before undergOinglysis(pre-dialysis group)and afterundergOinglysis (post-dialysis group).67In.
