Aimed to assessment of bone minerals among Sudanese patients of CKD, a total of 100 patients (69 male, 31 female) and 50 healthy volunteers (30 male, 20 female) were enrolled in this study. Serum Ca2+, Po43-, Mg2+and albumin levels were estimated using BioSystem BTS-310 spectrophotometer. ALP levels were estimated using Mindray analyzer. Data analyzed using SPSS computer program.
