This study found the most common creatinine serum levels found were <1.5 mg/dl (73.2%)with an average of 1.30 mg/dl and the range was 0.10 – 6.63 mg/dl. The value of left ventricular ejection fraction withan average of 44.9% and the range was 12% - 79%. Length of hospital stay in patients were >5 days commonly withan average of 7.29 days and the range was 1 – 29 days.
