Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires regular biochemical monitoring of renal function and mineral metabolism; however, the invasiveness of serum-based testing limits frequent assessment, prompting interest in saliva as a non-invasive alternative despite ongoing challenges related to collection methods and biomarker specific limitations. In this cross-sectional study, paired saliva and serum samples were collected from 47 healthy adults and 47 CKD patients.

Abstract Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs), particularly asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), impose significant burdens on patients and their families in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
