This study attempts to evaluate the spectral difference between healthy and renal failure blood sera and also to find the efficacy of peritoneal dialysis in renal failure patients using FTIR spectroscopic technique. Six chronic renal failure patients were enrolled in the study. FTIR blood spectra were recorded over the region 4000 - 400 cm -1 on a Perkin Elmer spectrum one FTIR spectrometer. The internal standard ratios among the absorption peaks were calculated and it is found to be an indicator to differentiate the diseased subjects from the healthy one. In order to find the efficacy of peritoneal dialysis the absorption values of the specific bands of both pre and post treatment spectra were noted and the internal ratio parameter were calculated. The comparison of these values showed that the spectra are not similar when compared down to finer details.
