| Abstract | ||
| Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by an irreversible deterioration of renal function that gradually progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), In the past 2 decades, the incidence of the chronic kidney disease in children has steadily increased, with poor and ethnic minority children disproportionately affected (USRDS, 2010). The number of dialysis patients increases by 7% annually (Choi et al., 2009). About 25% to 75% of chronic renal failure (CRF) patients who receive hemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for long periods experience gastrointestinal troubles (Min et al., 2013). Aim of the work: The aim of the study to determine Vitamin B12 levels in Helicobacter pylori infected chronic kidney disease paediatric patients. Subjects and Methods: Subjects: *Study design and population: This prospective study was conducted at Minia University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Minia University Pediatric Hemodialysis Unit and Minia General Hospital ,during the period from April 2016 to May 2017. Results: This prospective study was conducted at Minia University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Minia University Pediatric Hemodialysis Unit, Minia General Hospital, during the period from April 2016 to May 2017. Twenty five children were included in this study with chronic kidney disease under dialysis in the age groups between 6-16 years old, 60% males and 40 % females. | ||
