FT-IR ANALYSIS OF DERIDE HUMAN SERUM FOR DETERMINING ALBUMIN CONCENTRATION IN IRAQI PATIENTS WITH RENAL FAILURE

This study attempt to evaluate the spectral difference in serum albumin level between healthy and patients with renal failure pre and post dialysis using two methods kit assay & IR spectroscopy . The results showed a non significant difference between the level of albumin measured by kit assay & IR spectroscopy to all studied groups . Correlation studies indicated that there were a positive significant correlation between albumin assayed by kit assay & IR spectroscopy [(r = 0.59 , p = 0.004 ), (r = 0.638 , p = 0.001) and ( r = 0.478 , p = 0.024 )] in control and pre ,post dialysis patients respectively .
