Kidney failure is a common health problem affecting millions of people worldwide, and zinc deficiency is a
major contributor to this condition. In this study, the use of a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technique for
the diagnosis of renal failure in zinc-deficient individuals was validated. The study was conducted by analyzing plasma
samples collected from individuals with renal failure and zinc deficiency using the LIBS technique. Then the plasma
parameters, such as electronic temperature and electron density, were analyzed and their equations were derived. To identify
the characteristic spectral lines of elements in blood samples and compare them with those of healthy individuals. The
results showed that the plasma parameters of individuals with renal failure and zinc deficiency were significantly different
from those of healthy individuals. This study demonstrates the potential of the LIBS technique as a non-invasive diagnostic
tool for renal failure in zinc-deficient individuals.
