Evaluation of Renal function Tests in Obese Hypertensive & Non-Obese Hypertensive Patients in a Tertiary Care Hospital
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: Obesity is the second most preventable cause of death after smoking, with health care costs far exceeding the latter. While WHO estimates of 2008 report over 500 million obese individuals worldwide, obesity accounts for up to 70% cases of essential hypertension. Less attention is paid to the link between obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD), although there is evidence that the steady rise in CKD prevalence is closely associated with increasing obesity.Cross sectional study was carried out among 100 study subjects. Among them two groups i.e. group I of obese with hypertension and group II of non-obese with hypertension having 50 cases each were made. Among obese mean BMI was 31.8+ 8.89 kg/m¬2 and among non-obese mean BMI was 23.31+1.45 kg/m2(p<0.05). Among obese patients mean Sr.Urea was 43.38+30.9, mean sr.creatinine was 1.64+1.49, mean Sr.uric acid was 6.63+10.51 and among non-obese patients mean Sr.urea was 40.6+31.52, mean sr.creatinine was 1.85+1.8, mean Sr.uric acid was 6.07+10.31 (p>0.05). Among obese mean eGFR was 63.42+33 (P>0.05).Periodic evaluation of renal functions among the obese hypertensive cases will reduce the incidence of renal diseases. Keywords:Renal disease, obese, hypertension.
