Background: The present study was conducted for evaluating renal profile in liver cirrhosis patients.Materials & methods: A total of 40 patients with presence of cirrhosis of liver were enrolled. Complete demographic and clinical details of all the patients was obtained. Patients with presence of any pre-existing co-morbid condition or pathology were excluded from the present study. Clinical examination of all the patients was carried out. Complete medical examination was done of all the patients. This was followed by grading according to Child-Pugh score. All the patients were recalled in the morning and renal profile was evaluated. Results:Deranged renal profile was seen in 57.5 percent of the patients with cirrhosis of liver. Among patients with Child Pugh score class A, B and C, 41.67 percent, 58.82 percent and 72.72 percent of the patients had deranged renal profile. Significant negative correlation was seen while correlating renal profile with severity of cirrhosis of liver.Conclusion:Renal profile of patients with cirrhosis of liver should be closely and regularly monitored for early identification of renal complications.
