Evaluation of liver function biomarkers, blood pressure, and anthropometric parameters among chronic kidney disease patients: Laboratory-based cross-sectional study in Northwest Ethiopia.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a non-communicable disease leading to a progressive decline in kidney functions and complications like liver disorders. Serum levels of liver parameters such as aminotransferases and bilirubin are important biomarkers for the diagnosis of liver diseases. Studies on the effect of CKD with and without end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on the levels of liver biomarkers in Ethiopia are limited.
