Biochemical Study to Assess the Level of Galectin_1 in Type II Diabetic patients with Renal Failure Undergoing Hemodialysis
Renal failure is a general problem worldwide as millions of patients are diagnosed each year and many deaths are caused by this disease. Renal failure is the fourth cause of death in the world, in general, it means a deterioration in the ability of the kidneys to perform their functions or a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate.

Subjects: The current study included 88 people who were divided into two groups: the first included 50 patients suffering from kidney failure (18 females and 32 males), their ages range between (36-78 years) and they are subject to dialysis, while the second group included 38 individuals (11 females and 27 males) their ages range between (31-64 years), as a control group
