| Abstract | Aim: There is no data on osmol gap (OG) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) by stage and limited data on OG in adults on maintenance hemodialysis (HD). We aimed to examine the OG between different stages of CKD and to compare the OG pre- and post-HD in those on maintenance HD. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 67 patients. The participants were divided into six groups: Group 1—reference group (normal renal function), Group 2—CKD stage 2; Group 3—CKD stage 3; Group 4—CKD stage 4; Group 5—CKD stage 5 and not on dialysis. Group 6 were subjects on maintenance HD. Results: The means of OG ± standard deviation of Groups 1–6 were 15.25 ± 3.0, 20.73 ± 2.68, 22.85 ± 6.99, 24.11 ± 3.64, 25.15 ± 5.06, and 28.88 ± 3.45, respectively (p < 0.001). In the HD group, the difference between the pre-HD and post-HD OG was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion: There is a statistically significant upward trend for OG as CKD stage increases. The OG is elevated in patients on maintenance HD and is normalized by the HD. OG can be a valuable additional tool to suggest CKD stage and serve as a marker of dialysis adequacy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
