“…Positive correlation between BMI and eGFR was found in males whereas negative correlation in females which is inconsistent with the study of Cohen et al (2013) that found no association in males and yet it persisted for women and this correlation in women was attributed to the subcategory of severely obese women with a BMI of ≥ 35 kg/m 2 and they are first to suggest that morbid obesity may be an independent factor related to chronic kidney disease (CKD) in women. Similarly, BMI was also found to be higher in female than male in this study which is consistent with the findings of Nalado et al (2012) among civil servants in Kano and that of Gallagher et al (1996). However, Wachukwu et al (2015) reported contrary in the southern part of Nigeria that males are higher in BMI than females; this may be connected with the differences in the socio-demographic factors between the regions.…”

Any association between body mass index and kidney disease has so far proved inconclusive. Therefore, this study is aimed to provide association between glomerular filtration rate and body mass index among orthopaedic patients. A total of sixty (60) patients irrespective of gender were recruited. Weight and height were measured prior to the sample collection. A structured questionnaire was administered to obtain the demographic data of the subjects. Blood samples were collected from each patient by venepuncture from the antecubital vein of the forearm using disposable syringes. Serum creatinine was determined by method of Rosano et al. Body Mass Index and Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) were calculated using creatinine-based equation of Modification of Diet in Renal Disease. Mean BMI was found to be higher in females (25.48±5.65) than their male counterparts (21.44±4.52), while eGFR was found to be higher in males (184.14±53.23) than in females (152.06±32.71). Subjects with eGFR ≥60 were observed to be more frequent (98.30%); normal weight individuals had higher frequency (48.33%). Positive correlation exists between BMI and eGFR in males whereas negative correlation was found in females which

“…Ordinioha [ 14 ] reported a similar prevalence of 21.3% among lecturers in Port Harcourt. Similarly a report among civil servants in Kano [ 15 ] showed a prevalence of 29.8%. Hypertension remains among the top three causes of CKD in Nigeria [ 16 , 17 ] and is also a common cause of CKD in other parts of Sub-Saharan Africa [ 1 ] and when uncontrolled, it is known to hasten the progress of CKD as well as increase cardiovascular complications.…”

“…The prevalence of proteinuria in this study was 12.4%. A higher prevalence of 19.4% was reported among civil servants in Kano [ 15 ], while a lower prevalence of 5.6% was observed among civil servants in Bayelsa. [ 4 ] This high prevalence observed in this study is perturbing in this unselected apparently healthy population of young people.…”

IntroductionThe rising prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a global public health challenge particularly in developing countries, including our local environment, where subjects with the disease present late and may already be in need of renal replacement therapy. Early detection of modifiable risk factors of CKD is a plausible strategy to reduce its prevalence and burden. The 2014 World Kidney Day (WKD) exercise provided a veritable opportunity to identify CKD risk factors among adult Nigerians for early intervention.MethodsSubjects were mobilized from the University community for the 2014 WKD exercise. The parameters assessed were demographics, Body mass index (BMI), blood pressures, proteinuria, glycosuria, serum creatinine and fasting plasma glucose. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) was estimated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 17.0.ResultsA total of 259 volunteers were studied, mean age of 28.3±9.7years (16-66years). Males comprised 135(52.1%) while 124(47.9%) were females. The frequency of risk factors of CKD observed were obesity in 31(12.2%) subjects, proteinuria and glycosuria in 32(12.4%) and 7(2.7%) subjects respectively. Hypertension and hyperglycaemia were seen in 54(20.8%) and 11(4.3%) of subjects respectively. Five subjects (1.9%) had e-GFR < 60mls/min/1.73m2.ConclusionPrevalence of CKD risk factors in this study population was high. There is need for continuous education, regular screening for early detection and early intervention by risk factor modification to prevent and/or reduce the growing burden of CKD and its sequelae in Nigeria.

“…Among these include a study carried out by Okaka and Ojogwu among undergraduate nonmedical students in Benin, Nigeria[ 7 ] and another by Alebiosu in a representative general population in southwest Nigeria. [ 8 ] This is despite the rising prevalence of CKDs recorded in different parts of the country[ 9 10 11 12 13 ] with its attendant cost, morbidity and mortality. In this study, we set out to assess the awareness level of kidney diseases among adults in a semi-urban population of Abia state, southeast Nigeria.…”

The prevalence of kidney diseases is on the increase in Nigeria. The cost of its management is far beyond the reach of an average patient. Prevention is thus of paramount importance and awareness of kidney diseases will help in its prevention. The aim of this study is to assess the level of awareness of kidney functions and diseases among adults in a Nigerian population. A semi-structured, researcher – administered questionnaire was the tool for data collection. Four hundred and thirty-five questionnaires were analyzed. There were 160 males (36.8%) and 275 females (63.2%). The mean age was 42.8 ± 14 years with a range of 18–78 years. Among these, 82.1% were aware of the kidneys' involvement in waste removal from the body through urine while 36% and 29% were aware of kidneys' role in blood pressure regulation and blood production, respectively. Only 26.6% correctly identified at least two basic functions of the kidneys. Also, 32.6% of the respondents were aware of at least three common causes of kidney diseases in our environment. Majority of the respondents (70.7%) did not know that kidney diseases could be inherited. Furthermore, belief in alternative therapy for kidney disease was documented in 83.2%, while unawareness of dialysis as a treatment modality was recorded in 68% of the respondents. The awareness of kidney functions and diseases among the population is poor. Measures are needed to improve this to stem the rising prevalence of chronic kidney disease in Nigeria.
