Introduction

Voice refers to the sound we produce to communicate meaning, ideas, opinions, etc. Descriptive and comparative analysis: The individuals in this study included in two groups: The study group (GI): patients suffering from chronic renal failure (n=54) They were 38males(70.3%) and 16 females (29.6%),with a mean age of46.66 ± 12.65 and a range of 25 years to 70years. The control group (GII): This group included 56 individuals not suffering from renal failure They were 40 males (71.4%) and 16 females (29.5%), with a mean age45.55 ± 11.05 and a range of 25 years 70 years. The process reverses and air exits the lungs, creating an airstream in the trachea. This air stream provides the energy for the vocal folds in the voice box to produce sound.
