| Abstract | ||||
| Giardia lamblia and Helicobacter pylori are two microorganisms that grow in duodenum and stomach; and sharing the same mode of infection. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an end stage disease causing uremia that requires hemodialysis (HD). The association of Giardia lamblia and H. pylori infection has been known to be common and hemodialysis may play an important role on this co-infection. This study evaluated the interrelation of Giardia lamblia and H. pylori in patients of CKD treated with hemodialysis. A case-control study performed on two hundred stool samples collected from patients attending Beni-Suef University Hospital suffering from diarrhea and other GIT symptoms. One hundred patients suffering from CKD and treated with hemodialysis and a hundred control group < br />with normal kidney functions of both genders. Both groups were subjected to coproparasitological examination and fecal immuno-assays. The results showed that Giardia in 13 CKD patients with a mean age of 45.24±14.52 and in 22 cross-matched control patients. Males showed prevalent of (66%), who were from rural areas (66.5%) and using tap water (83.5%). H. pylori infection was in 22 patients CKD and in 27 control patients. Co-infection was found in 10 CKD patients and 19 of control. | ||||
