Abstract
This is a descriptive cross-sectional case-control study conducted in Al-Mak Nemir University
Hospital in Shendi town to evaluate the iron profile in patients with chronic renal failure during
the period March to July 2018. The study included thirty patients who were diagnosed with
chronic renal failure and the study group was compared with ten healthy volunteers as a control
group. Blood samples were collected from the two groups, Iron profile parameters were
measured, Data was collected using a structured face-to-face questionnaire, and the (SPSS)
version (11.5) program was used for data analysis. The study revealed the patients with chronic
renal failure were (73.3%) male and (26.6%) female, distributed as (66.7%) have (31-50) years
old, (23.3%) have (51-70) years old, and (10%) have (71-100) years old. The iron profile
indicated that the mean values of S. iron, S. ferritin, and TIBC, were (182.2667ug/dL),
(267.4000ug/L), and (195.2333ug/dL) respectively. This study showed that chronic renal failure
is responsible for significant changes in iron profile
