“…In this study, male gender and individuals aged 40-59 years were the majority comprising 61% and 41% of the study participants respectively. Comparable results on association between male gender and ESRD have also been reported by studies done in Cameroon and Brazil [18,19]. High proportion of male patients might at least in part, be explained by the fact that males are more prone to hypertension and diabetes mellitus which are the major comorbidities associated with ESRD [20,21].…”

Moreover, anaemia has been linked with worse clinical outcomes such as increased morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular disease [2]. This complication increases the risk of hospitalization and length of hospital stay and therefore dramatically reducing the quality of life of these patients [3][4][5]. End Stage Renal Disease is characterized by nutritional impairment, anaemia, hypertension, renal bone disease, neuropathy, nutritional impairment, and reduced life expectancy [6,7]. Anaemia worsens with progressive kidney disease implicating multiple factors being related to its etiology including inability of the failing kidneys to secrete the hormone erythropoietin, uremic toxins and excess aluminum accumulation on bone marrow of patients on long term dialysis, blood loss, increased red blood cell destruction and altered platelet function due to uremia among others [8].

“…Prevalence of CKD amongst the general population is estimated to be 8-16% worldwide [14,15]. Although current guidelines recommend screening in individuals at risk for CKD [16], there are more data on the prevalence of CKD in the general population [17][18][19][20]. Nevertheless, a number of papers present the prevalence of CKD in patients with diabetes [21][22][23] but this is not the case with the prevalence of CKD in patients with hypertension.…”

Introduction. Academy of Medical Science of Serbian Medical Societyintroduced collaboration between Belgrade nephrologistsand general practitioners with the aim of examining the prevalenceof chronic kidney disease (CKD) in populations at risk as well as ofchecking whether collaboration with general practitioners contributedto implementation of regular CKD screening.Methods. The research encompassed two studies carried out infour Belgrade Primary Health Care Centers. The screening study involved619 patients at risk for CKD (348 with hypertension, 206 withdiabetes, 65 persons aged > 60 years without hypertension/diabetes)in whom glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was estimated byMDRD formula, while urine dipstick test was used for detection ofproteinuria and albuminuria (Micral-test® strips).The second studywas retrospective analysis of medical records of 450 patients whowere examined in the screening study and whose blood pressureand eGFR recording were analyzed during three-year period.Results. In screening study, eGFR below 60 ml/min/1.73m2 wasdetected in 121 (19.55%) and albuminuria in 242 (39.10%) patients.During three-year retrospective study, percentage of patientswhose blood pressure and eGFR were recorded decreasedfrom 42% to 22% and from 42% to 18%, respectively. Multivariateregression analysis selected health center, systolic blood pressureand hypertension as the variables significantly associated with thenumber of years in which blood pressure was recorded, while malegender, health center, hypertension and basal eGFR as variablesassociated with the number of years in which eGFR was recorded.Conclusion. Despite collaboration between nephrologists andgeneral practitioners in screening study, the retrospective threeyearstudy revealed insufficient recording of blood pressure andeGFR in patients’ medical records.

“…Observa-se que a hipertensão é prevalente na maioria dos casos da doença renal crônica, sendo um dos fatores que contribui para a aceleração do declínio da função renal 17 . A associação de maior prevalência de DRC em pacientes com hipertensão, sendo reconhecida como um dos fatores de risco para DRC, pode-se inferir que por se apresentar de forma progressiva e silenciosa, a hipertensão nem sempre apresenta sinais e sintomas francos, e, portanto não modifica de forma significativa diretamente a qualidade de vida dos pacientes [18][19] .…”

Objetivou-se correlacionar a hipertensão arterial sistêmica e a diabetes mellitus com a doença renal crônica e seu impacto na qualidade de vida dos pacientes em tratamento hemodialítico. Realizou-se um estudo quantitativo do tipo transversal, sendo a amostra composta por 110 pacientes em hemodiálise, numa Clínica de Hemodiálise no Piemonte norte do Itapicuru -BA, aos quais responderam a um instrumento o Kidney Disease and Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF™ 1.3), específico para avaliar a qualidade de vida do doente renal crônico. Ao relacionar os domínios do KDQOL SF com a hipertensão arterial, verificou-se menores escores na Situação de trabalho e Função física nos pacientes que são hipertensos. Em Contrapartida, observamos que os domínios com maior escore foram a Função sexual e Função cognitiva nesta mesma população. Já quando comparado os domínios de QV entre os portadores de diabetes e os que não possuem a doença, foi encontrado diferenças significativas (p<0,05) nos domínios Função cognitiva, Funcionamento físico, a Função social e o Componente mental, em que nos domínios citados, os diabéticos apresentaram menores escores comparados com os não diabéticos. Conclui-se que as comorbidades apresentadas ao longo do estudo possuem interferência direta na vida dos pacientes em tratamento hemodialítico. Assim, a equipe de saúde e os cuidados prestados devem ser monitorados constantemente entre os pacientes.
