Abstract

Introduction: owing to its rising incidence and prevalence throughout the world, and in specific places in Libya, kidney failure diseases has gained increasing significance among the researcher. In spite of this disease can occurs as a result of the combined influence of epidemiological, biochemical, metabolic, and genetic risk factors, one of the important factors that considered in this study is quality water consumption. Creatinine concentrations and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) can indicate renal function.  Aim of study: The aims of present work were to assess the water drinking type that regularly consumed by kidney patients by measuring of creatinine and urea concentrations in plasma and urine samples.

 Methodology: The study involved 97 patients from Zawiya Nephrology Centre and Al-Zahra Hospital in Libya, divided into four age groups. They answered a questionnaire about their personal information, drinking water quality, and urea and creatinine levels after dialysis. Blood samples were collected, then spun in a centrifuge. Data was analysed using Microsoft Excel and collected from personal information. Result. The study found that in Zawiya, 25.77% of the sample was female, while in Zahra, 18.18% was female. In Zawiya, 23.70% of the sample was male, while in Zahra, 28.86% was male. The study revealed that the age group aged 35-55 had the highest percentage (46.39%), followed by those aged 55+ (40.20%), and those aged 15-35 (13.40%), with no age group less than 15 years. The study assessed kidney function by estimating urea and creatinine content in blood. Results showed significant increases in renal function markers after dialysis, while no significant difference was observed in creatinine levels. The study found that most patients require dialysis three times a week for kidney failure, depending on the severity and stage of the disease. Conclusion: Kidney patients in Western Libya require clean, safe drinking water to prevent kidney patient deterioration. Research is needed to assess water quality's impact on kidney health, and a larger random offer trial is recommended.

Keywords: Kidney disease, drinking water quality, kidney function, drinking water and its effect on kidney disease, kidney failure.

Kidney patients in Western Libya require clean, safe drinking water, and based on the findings of this study that showed significantly increased of kidney function markers, in particular urea. The results may be concluded that drinking water quality is essential for kidney patients in order to prevent kidney problems and health complications. Furthermore, to confirm findings of this study further investigations are required in several area and increase size of simples which considered as one of the important limitations in this study.
