Background: Renal failure, additionally referred to as kidney failure, is an illness in which the kidneys are unable to filter bodily waste from the circulation. This can cause an accumulation of harmful substances and the electrolytes in the human body, which can result in a variety of unpleasant side effects. Electrolytes are minerals that are essential for proper body function, including maintaining fluid balance, regulating nerve and muscle function, and supporting heart health. Imbalances in electrolyte levels can occur in individuals with kidney failure due to the kidneys' inability to regulate electrolyte levels properly. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine the approximate levels of chloride, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in individuals with kidney failure. Materials and methods: 50 dialysis patients from Ibn Sina Teaching Hospital/Dialysis Unit in Al-Mosul, Iraq, aged 18–77, were studied from October 2021 to January 2022. Controls were 50 physically healthy people. They were 19–75. Blood sampling and biochemical analysis were performed. Results: This study examined the differences in age, and gender groups and electrolyte levels between individuals with kidney failure and healthy controls. The findings revealed no statistically significant differences in age and gender distribution between cases and controls. However, observable differences were significant in the levels of electrolytes between cases and controls, with increased levels of potassium, magnesium, and phosphate and decreased levels of sodium, calcium, and chloride in individuals with kidney failure. Conclusion: This study suggests that regular monitoring of electrolyte levels and implementing interventions to correct electrolyte imbalances, as well as early detection and management of kidney disease, may help prevent the progression of kidney failure. Further study is required to investigate the relationship between electrolyte imbalances and kidney disease in further explanation.
