“…Chronic glomerulonephritis accounted for 25.4% of our patients with CRF and was the commonest identifiable aetiology. Similar reports from adult Sudanese patients reported the predominance of chronic glomerulonephritis as a cause of CRF in 33% and 38% of patients [15,16]. Studies from other developing countries in Asia, Latin America, and Africa have shown a high prevalence of glomerulonephritis in their patients, with rates of over 50% in Nigeria and China [5,7,14,17].…”

“…High rates have also been reported in Africa and Asia [12,13]. Reports from adult Sudanese patients also showed high frequencies of cause unknown, at 16% and 20% [15,16]. This could have been due to the pattern of late referrals, with failure of detection of the primary cause and lack of intensive imaging modalities.…”

“…A small study conducted in Sudan among 61 patients in 1987 reported that the causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are chronic glomerulonephritis, obstructive nephropathy, hypertension and diabetes mellitus in that order [ 9 ]. Furthermore in study conducted among 100 Sudanese patients, chronic glomerulonephritis was found to be the leading cause of ESRF [ 10 ]. Other study conducted in central Sudan in 2009 among 224 ESRF patients found that hypertension (14.3 %) is a leading cause of ESRF followed by obstructive uropathy (11.6 %), glomerulonephritis (9.8 %), diabetes mellitus (8 %), however in (53.57 %) no cause was found [ 11 ].…”

“…32, No. 3 PERITONEAL DIALYSIS IN CAPE TOWN between 25% and 48% (4)(5)(6)(7)(8). Primary and secondary glomerular diseases also commonly occur in SSA, and for various reasons-such as late presentation of patients, inadequate tools to make a diagnosis, and inadequate treatment-premature ESRD may result (9).…”
