Description :
Quality of water significantly affects human body, in Chhattisgarh due to
presence of abundance quantity of dolomite in soil , the alkalinity of water as
well as the calcium content and total dissolved solids is extremely high in
comparison to the recommend contents .This water pollution precipitates
problem of renal stones (Renal lithiasis) .Thus the state is known as Stone
Belt Area. CKD –chronic kidney disease due to renal stones is like a
community problem here. Ultimately dialysis is the life saving medical
procedure, but repeated dialysis causes hyper-phosphataemia, this is
etiological cause of repeated infections and cardiac problems. The study was
done on the subjects who resides in the area where the TDS and alkalinity
parameters were high, the victims of CKD of this area were randomly selected
and their health parameters along with biochemical parameters were
collected , the induced problems due to hardness of water and repeated
dialysis were assessed and it is concluded that the related health problems
imposed dyslipidemias and hyper phosphataemia that are major risk for
cardiac health.
