Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a significant public health concern in recent years due to its increased prevalence among the population and its increased morbidity and mortality. It was estimated that the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in India ranges from 0.79% to 1.4%. This study aimed to find out the proportion of CKD among the patients admitted in General Medicine wards of a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata and to find out any association between CKD and dyslipidaemia. This study is descriptive, observational and cross-sectional in design. It was a hospital-based study, conducted in General Medicine ward in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Kolkata. All adult patients (age ≥18 years) admitted in the General Medicine ward in the hospital from September 2015 to February 2016 were included in the study. Out of 1375 study subjects, 135 (9.92%) persons were diagnosed as having Chronic Kidney Disease, and 1240 (90.08%) persons were suffering from ailments other than CKD. CKD patients mostly belonged to the age group of 41-60 years and, it is same for the non-CKD patients as well. 65.19% of the CKD patients were males. The relationship of age group, gender and religion with CKD status is not statistically significant. The presence of hypertriglyceridemia, presence of decreased HDL and presence overall presence of dyslipidaemia in CKD patients are statistically significant at 95% confidence limits. As, the emergence of diabetic nephropathy is the pre-eminent cause of CKD, more attention must be paid for early diagnosis and adequate treatment of diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidaemia, to prevent unwanted complications, especially Chronic Kidney Disease.
