Materials & Methods: 70 patients of chronic kidney disease of both genders were assessed for estimation of calcium, phosphate, bicarbonate, potassium, urea etc. Metabolic complications was recorded. Results: Out of 70 patients, males were 40 and females were 30. Clinical features comprised of muscle pain in 45, numbness in 52, bone pain in 48, vomiting in 31 and fatigue in 33 patients. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Hyperkalemia was seen in 10, hypocalcemia in 15, hyperuricemia in 15, metabolic acidosis in 11, hyperphosphatemia in 8 patients. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Conclusion: Most common metabolic complications was hyperuricemia, hypocalcemia and hyperkalemia.
