Abstract

Objective; detection of the predictive role of some electrolytes and biochemical indicators in the pathophysiology of renal failure diseases. Methods; The present investigation was done in Diyala province within time (July-November 2024). We have 120 blood samples from hemodialysis patients that sleeping in the Ibn-Sina Center for Kidney Dialysis / Ba’aqubah Teaching Hospital. In addition, we collected 80 blood samples from people without diseases (healthy) and depended on them as a control group. Serum levels of all biochemical indicators in all samples of participants were quantified by Cobas e411 machine. SPSS v. 22.0 with Prism v.10 programs were based for the analysis our data. Results; Present outcomes showed that most renal failure patients were males (51.7%) within age groups 41-60 years (48.3%) and living in rural areas (51.7%). Additionally, most patients were no smokers (90.0%) with underweight BMI (33.33%) . Levels of RBS, creatinine, sodium, potassium and urea were highest in patients compared to controls, while the levels of calcium and iron were lowest in patients versus controls with significant difference (p<0.05). ROC curve results showed the urea scored highest sensitivity and specificity (100% and 94%) at cut off (40.50), followed by creatinine (100% and 89%) and albumin (88% and 86%) at cut off values (1.50 and 3.90) respectively, with significant differences (p<0.05), in diagnosis renal failure patients. pearson correlation coefficient showed there is negative significant correlation between RBS and creatinine ( r=-0.189* and p= 0.039), albumin and RBS ( r=-0.310* and p= 0.001), and a positive significant correlation between albumin and sodium (r=-0.227* and p= 0.013) and iron with sodium (r=-0.182* and p= 0.046). Conclusions; We concluded that renal failure disease has more effect on patients >40 years with underweight BMI. No effect of gender, living and smoking on disease. The increase and decreased levels of all indicators are related to kidney damage and loss of homeostasis. Urea, creatinine and albumin indicators are more preferred in screening disease due to have these indicators high sensitivity and specificity than another indicators Highlights: Assessed electrolytes' role in renal failure diagnosis using biochemical indicators. Analyzed 120 hemodialysis patients vs. 80 healthy controls using Cobas e411. Urea, creatinine, albumin showed highest sensitivity/specificity; significant correlations found.

Abstract

General Background: Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s most important cereal crops, serving as a key food, feed, and industrial raw material. In Iraq, maize productivity remains below the global average due to nutrient imbalances and suboptimal fertilization practices. Specific Background: Potassium plays a crucial physiological role in plant growth, yet its availability is limited in many Iraqi soils. Additionally, humic acid, when applied as a foliar spray, enhances nutrient absorption and photosynthetic efficiency. Knowledge Gap: Limited studies have explored the interactive effects of potassium fertilization and foliar-applied humic acid on maize vegetative growth under Iraqi soil conditions. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the response of maize (cv. 5018) vegetative traits to different levels of potassium (120 and 140 kg ha⁻¹) and humic acid (3 and 4 ml L⁻¹) applied through foliar feeding. Results: The results showed that 120 kg ha⁻¹ potassium significantly enhanced plant height (249.50 cm), stem diameter (2.38 cm), number of leaves (15.64 plant⁻¹), and dry weight (182.94 g). Foliar application of humic acid at 4 ml L⁻¹ further improved stem diameter and leaf number. Novelty: This research highlights the synergistic potential of potassium and humic acid in optimizing maize vegetative performance in potassium-limited soils. Implications: The findings provide a practical basis for refining fertilization strategies to enhance maize productivity in similar agroecological regions.Highlight : Potassium levels of 120 and 140 kg ha⁻¹ increased plant height and stem diameter. Humic acid at 3 and 4 ml L⁻¹ improved stem diameter and number of leaves. Combined potassium and humic treatments enhanced overall vegetative growth.
