Abstract: This research use fission track analysis (FTA) using a CR-39 detector. Employed to determine uranium levels in the blood of patients with renal failure in Salah al-Din Governorate. The average uranium concentration in the patient samples ranged from 1.9447 ppb to 11.0293 ppb. The mean uranium concentration in the healthy cohort ranged from 0.4205 ppb to 2.4393 ppb. The results demonstrated increased uranium concentrations in the blood of patients with renal failure compared to healthy individuals.
