Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease and Its Association with Risk Factors in Disadvantageous Population

Abstract

The prevalence of kidney disease, particularly diabetic and hypertensive kidney disease is increasing rapidly specially in the disadvantageous group of population throughout the world. A cross sectional survey was carried out at certain selected slum areas of Mirpur in Dhaka city of Bangladesh over the period from July 2003 to June 2005, and a total of participants ranging from 15 to 65 years were studied. The analysis discovered that 4.1% of the participants were diabetic, 11.6% were hypertensive, and 7.7% had proteinuria. Based on MDRD equation, 13.1% of the participants were detected as having chronic kidney disease (CKD) while with Cockcroft-Gault equation 16% had CKD. Accordingly, the difference between the two equations was not significant. Association of sociodemographic factors with CKD was not significant except age more than 40 years and marital status. The association between CKD and risk factors like proteinuria, obese and overweight, use of tobacco, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension was highly significant. Combined prevalence of DM, hypertension, and proteinuria among CKD group was also demonstrated to be significantly higher (3.8% with Cockcroft-Gault equation and 5.3% with MDRD equation) than that of normal population. The survey data revealed that CKD and its risk factors like DM and hypertension are alarmingly high in disadvantageous population and adding further pressure to the existing burden of CKD.

Burden of Proteinuria and Risk Factors of Chronic Kidney Disease among Adult Population in Urban Puducherry, India

“…The latter study was done in an area with predominant Muslim peri-urban population where the risk of CKD was more; therefore in our present study, we find relatively less prevalence of proteinuria. A cross-sectional survey was carried out at certain selected slum areas of Mirpur at Dhaka city in Bangladesh which showed proteinuria prevalence of 7.7% by the dip stick method [7] which is low compared to our study. It could be due to the fact that the other study was conducted among a younger population as the mean age of their study population was 34.4 years while the mean age of our study population was 38.5 years.…”

Sintomas Depressivos e Ansiosos no Paciente Renal Crônico em Tratamento Conservador

“…A maioria nha fi lhos, e a renda era inferior a três salários mínimos. Corrobora, portanto, com dados da literatura internacional, que parecem indicar que indivíduos mais propensos à doença renal crônica são aqueles que apresentam condições mais desfavoráveis de vida, tais como: baixa renda pessoal e familiar, baixo grau de escolaridade, condições essas que mal sa sfazem as necessidades de sobrevivência quando se leva em conta o tamanho da família e os gastos que porventura são necessários dispensar com a doença con nuamente (White et al, 2008;Fischer et al, 2010;Barros, Francisco, Zanche a, & César, 2011;Huda, Alam, & Rashid, 2012), o que pode infl uenciar também o próprio cuidado com a saúde. Questões sobre a doença, tratamento, medicamentos e dietas indicaram que muitas dessas informações são oferecidas.…”
