The Early Detection of Chronic Diseases

The College of Pharmacy at Deraya University has taken an important step toward detecting chronic diseases, including diabetic polyuria, renal impairment, hepatic impairment, and arteriosclerosis. The initiative aims at early detection of these diseases and follows up with patients through specialized medical and chemical analyses.

Early detection of Chronic Diseases

It is crucial for effective treatment and management. Most chronic diseases are asymptomatic in their early stages, and patients often do not seek medical attention until the disease has progressed. By the time they seek medical attention, the disease may have advanced to a stage where it is difficult to manage or treat. Therefore, early detection and treatment can significantly improve the outcomes of patients with chronic diseases.

The steps taken by the College of Pharmacy at Deraya University include specialized medical and chemical analyses to detect chronic diseases. For example, for the detection and follow-up of diabetic polyuria, the initiative uses a Fasting blood sugar test, postprandial blood sugar test, and random blood sugar test Blood sugar levels and detect any abnormal fluctuations are used to monitor these tests.in glucose levels. Abnormal glucose levels can indicate the presence of diabetes, which is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide.

The day also includes detection analyses and follow-up of patients with hepatic impairment. The tests used for this purpose include liver enzymes ALT and AST. These tests are used to monitor liver function and detect any abnormalities in liver enzymes. Abnormal liver enzymes can indicate the presence of liver disease, which is a chronic disease that can lead to serious complications if left untreated.

In addition, the day includes detection analyses and follow-up of patients with renal impairment. The tests used for this purpose include creatinine and urea tests. These tests are used to monitor kidney function and detect any abnormalities in kidney function. Abnormal kidney function can indicate the presence of kidney disease, which is a chronic disease that can lead to serious complications if left untreated.

The day also includes lipid analyzes, such as triglycerides and cholesterol tests. These tests are used to monitor lipid levels in the blood and detect any abnormalities in lipid levels. Abnormal lipid levels can indicate the presence of arteriosclerosis, which is a chronic disease that affects the arteries and can lead to heart disease.

It is worth noting that this step came within the activities of the students of the course of clinical chemistry and molecular biology. The educational process at Deraya University is not only limited to education within laboratories and classrooms, but it is a comprehensive educational experience of theoretical academic education as well as field training and practical application.

The students organized this day have gained valuable experience in the detection and management of chronic diseases and also the early detection and management of chronic diseases in the community. The event has also raised awareness about the importance of early detection and management of chronic diseases, which can significantly improve the quality of life of patients.

The event was launched on Wednesday 8/3/2023 and continued until Sunday 3/12/2023. During this period, the College of Pharmacy at Deraya University offered specialized medical and chemical analyses to detect chronic diseases.

In conclusion, the steps taken by the College of Pharmacy at Deraya University to detect chronic diseases are a commendable effort to improve the health outcomes of patients. Early detection and management of chronic diseases can significantly improve the quality of life of patients and reduce the burden of chronic diseases on society. The day also highlights the importance of practical application and field training in the educational process, which can equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to make a positive impact in their communities.
