“…As for risk factors, this study found a significant association between older age group (>50 years), and KD. This is consistent with findings from other studies [6,9,11,12]. It was reported that eGFR will decline gradually with age and at the age >50 years whatever the equations were used; 25% of the diabetics will have eGFR <90 mL/min [17].…”

“…Our prevalence estimate of KD was lower than 86.3% reported in Jamaica [9] and 82.6% in Kenya [11], but higher than that of 25.3% reported in Brazil [12] and 27.9% in Spain [13]. These differences in KD prevalence might be because of the differences in case difference in creatinine assays and calibration or due to the use of Cockroft-Gault equation for estimation of GFR could also have led to an underestimation of GFR & thus a higher prevalence of KD.…”

“…Majority of the patients (82.6%) with KD were older than 50 years. A similar study conducted in Jamaica found the mean age of their study population was 55.4 ± 12.9 years [9]. A cross-sectional survey conducted in diabetic outpatients in the USA found the mean age of participants 61.7 ± 11.2years [10].…”

1.5 million people died due to diabetes and more than half millions of them died because of diabetic kidney diseases in 2015. In Ethiopia, the frequency of chronic complications of diabetes is high and an increased occurrence of nephropathy, peripheral neuropathy, hypertension, and retinopathy was observed with longer duration of diabetes. However, there is limited data on the assessment of renal function among Diabetic patients at country level in general as well as specifically in Asella Referral & Teaching Hospital. Retrospective study method was used and Cockroft-Gault formula was used to calculate the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate. The data were analyzed using SPSS version-20 software and the Pvalue was calculated to see the statistically significant association (p-value < 0.05) among different parameters. Among the total of 189 study subjects, 123 (65.1%) was found to have evidence of renal damage. Of all 123 patients having renal damage, 76 (40.2%) was stage 2, 4 (2.1%) was stage 4. Diabetic patients whose age is >50 were 0.276 times at risk of developing diabetic renal damage than those aged ≤50 (AOR=0.276, 95% CI (0.133-0.574) p=0.001)

“…Based on KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) risk categories, 50.8% and 17.4% were at high risk or very high risk of adverse outcomes, respectively. 22 Our study has shown that 69.32% of the chosen specialties (geriatrics, diabetes and endocrinology, haematology, urology, cardiology and vascular surgery) deal with CKD patients.…”

Is replacement modality choice knowledge important in the non-renal multidisciplinary team? Experience from a single UK centre

Dialysis remains the mainstay treatment for patients with end stage renal disease. In the UK, there has been a signifi cant decline in home dialysis despite its benefi ts and cost effectiveness. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are often known to other specialties who they may continue to consult when approaching dialysis. We wished to assess the knowledge of the non-renal multidisciplinary team (MDT) regarding home dialysis and establish whether further education was warranted. This was assessed using an online survey sent to specialties likely to deal with CKD patients. In total, 364 questionnaires were sent out with a 26.4% response rate. According to the survey responses, 81.5% of non-renal MDTs lack confi dence in discussing home dialysis options with patients and 74.55% feel that they need further education about home dialysis. Targeted education may increase home dialysis uptake by multimorbid CKD patients who have a consistent message delivered by all relevant healthcare teams about the benefi ts of home dialysis.

“…Among 132 women and men with a mean age of 55.4 years (AE12.9) and a mean duration of diabetes of 16.7 years (AE11.7), 22% had an estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 , while increased urine albumin excretion defined as an albumin-to-creatinine ratio $ 30 mg/g was present in 83%. 2 Overall prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Jamaica also appears to be increasing. Data from the Jamaica arm of the Caribbean Renal Registry shows that the number of persons with CKD and ESRD is increasing, and reported causes are hypertension and diabetes mellitus, with some cases attributed to lupus nephritis and chronic glomerulonephritis.…”
