Prevalence of clinically validated primary causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in a State Capital in Northeastern Brazil

Abstract: The data contradicted national studies reporting primary hypertension as the main cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). A high rate of unknown causes and categorization bias were observed mainly in relation to primary hypertension as a cause of CKD, which affects the overall prevalence of causes of ESRD in patients on dialysis.

“…In this perspective, our results have demonstrated that serum and salivary levels of calcium, urea, and creatinine exhibit significant statistical differences (p<0.001). Our findings are consistent with previous studies [2,[29][30][31][32], adding to the existing data to support the possibility of employing analysis of salivary creatinine and urea for the diagnosis and assessment of CRF [33].…”

“…Concerning age, our findings demonstrated that most patients had an age greater than or equal to 40 years old, which corroborates the results of some studies [5,12,24,25]. In Brazil, the prevalence of CRF is high; approximately 11 to 22 million adults are estimated to have some degree of renal dysfunction in a population of about 200 million and 70% of the adult population [2]. In the Brazilian Northeast exist 134 dialysis units, and our study corresponded to approximately 3% of this totality.…”

“…In these cases, renal biopsy is an important method to confirm the etiology of this glomerular disease 2 . In Brazil, data regarding trends in glomerular and nonglomerular nephropathies confirmed by means of a renal biopsy are still limited to certain regions of the country [3][4][5][6] or based on sampling from hospitals/ nephrology centers 3,5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] . In Santa Catarina, there are no population data that can contribute to a better epidemiological understanding of the prevalence of nephropathies diagnosed through renal biopsy.…”
