Abstract
Chronic Kidney Diseases (CKD) is becoming a major public health problem among elder in Saudi Arabia. The high prevalence of diabetes and hypertension is a main factor aggravating this problem. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of CKD and CKD risk factors among adult population in Hail region – Saudi Arabia. This is a cross sectional survey collected data from around 5000 Saudi from general population during the period from 2012 to 2013. Participants were selected from PHCs by simple random method. A team of physicians, paramedicals and medical students shared in data collection from 30 PHCs out of 105 in Hail Region, KSA, during a comprehensive survey for CKD.The GFR estimation was done for 775 individuals, among whom, 393/775 (50.7%) were found with impaired kidney function). Of the 393 persons with CKD, 2/775(0.6%), 7/775(0.9%), 97/775(12.5%), 206/775 (26.6%) and 81/775 (10.5%) were found with stage V, Stage IV, stage III and stage IV of the CKD, respectively.In almost every country the proportion of elder people is increasing as a result of longer life expectancy due to the development of Primary Health Care services. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a very common clinical problem in elderly patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. CKD is a disease of older people, and simple treatments can slow the progression of the disease and improve quality of life
