Sponsor

Ain Shams University

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health issue in Egypt, leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). ESRD patients often suffer from oral abnormalities due to the disease and medications. Periodontitis is linked to systemic diseases, including renal disease, with inflammation playing a key role. TLR4 genetic variations may influence susceptibility to CKD and periodontitis. This study investigates the association between TLR4 \[Gly/Thr (rs2149356)\] polymorphism and chronic periodontal disease in ESRD patients in Egypt.
