The Role of Toll-like Receptor-4 in Periodontitis Patients With End-stage Renal Disease in a Sample of Egyptian Population
Condition(s) studied
Study 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.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Clinical Attachment Level (CAL): — single point "Baseline"
Description: The CAL measures the extent of periodontal support around a tooth, from the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) to the base of the pocket, crucial for diagnosing periodontal disease. Measurement Method: CAL is recorded using a periodontal probe by measuring probing depth (PD) and distance from the gingival margin to the CEJ. CAL is calculated as follows: CEJ at gingival margin: CAL = PD Gingival margin coronal to CEJ: CAL = PD - Distance from Gingival Margin to CEJ Gingival margin apical to CEJ: CAL = PD + Distance from CEJ to Gingival Margin in non- periodontitis individuals CAL is zero
