“…Despite its increasing prevalence and relevance in world health, there is evidence of the lack of knowledge about kidney diseases, including patients with CKD, their caregivers and, above all, the elderly, who are generally more vulnerable to the main risk factors for this condition. This misunderstanding includes the most varied areas, in order to involve prevention, risk factors and available treatments, even in the current digital era, in which information technologies dominate the world scenario 7 . In a study carried out in Hong Kong including 516 participants, less than half of the sample knew that DM and AH were risk factors for CKD; 79.5% were unaware of the harmful effects of high-sodium consumption in the diet, and most of the sample believed that CKD symptoms were related to abdominal pain and urinary alterations 4 .…”

“…Esses estudos têm mais de 30 e 20 anos, respectivamente, e o acesso ao atendimento especializado no Brasil melhorou nos últimos anos, porém o conhecimento da população sobre a DRC e a nefrologia como um todo não avançou. Em um estudo realizado em Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, com base em entrevistas com a população, evidenciou-se que apenas 28% das pessoas tinham conhecimento sobre a palavra "nefrologia" 7 .…”

“…Apesar da ascendente prevalência e relevância na saúde mundial, há evidências sobre o desconhecimento a respeito das doenças renais, a englobar portadores da DRC, seus cuidadores e, sobretudo, idosos, que geralmente são mais vulneráveis aos principais fatores de risco dessa condição. Essa incompreensão inclui as mais variadas áreas, de modo a envolver a prevenção, os fatores de risco e os tratamentos disponíveis, mesmo no atual momento digital, em que as tecnologias da informação dominam o cenário mundial 7 . Em um estudo realizado em Hong Kong, que abrangeu 516 participantes, menos da metade da amostra sabia que DM e HA eram fatores de risco para DRC, 79,5% desconheciam os malefícios do consumo de alto teor de sódio na dieta e grande parte da amostra acreditava que os sintomas da DRC estavam relacionados com dor abdominal e alterações urinárias 4 .…”
