Information on the prevalence of renal disease in the inhabitants of Chitwan is still very scanty. Renal function tests were used to determine the prevalence (presence or absence) of renal disease in all age group populations. Renal functions were assessed in 5990 patients attending OPD of Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital, a tertiary care teaching hospital in the eastern region of Nepal. Renal function tests were performed using serum levels of total protein, albumin, sodium, potassium, urea, and creatinine as indicators of renal function. Out of 5990 subjects, 90 patients (1.50%) were selectively diagnosed as renal disease and another 90 subjects has been included in the study those are normal individuals. The serum concentrations of all the parameters of renal function test in patients were significantly higher (p<0.003) than those of normal individuals except total protein and albumin which was significantly lower in experimental group than the control group. Therefor...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as kidney damage or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 for more than 3 months with implications for health. [1] The incidence and prevalence of CKD have increased in the recent years in developed and developing nations and are consuming a huge proportion of health-care finances in developed countries while contributing significantly to morbidity, mortality and decreased life expectancy, particularly in developing countries. [2-5] There is a paucity of data on CKD from West Africa subregion. In Nigeria, lack of a national registry network and a coordinated national programme on kidney disease have restricted efforts toward the effective planning and control of renal diseases. In addition, it has also affected equitable allocation of resources. Studies aimed at quantifying the magnitude of CKD and determining the risk factors have been conducted in different parts of Nigeria with varying results. Some of these studies were hospital-based, and the definition of chronicity of the disease was based on the duration of suggestive symptoms and radiological evidence of chronic disease process thus assessing advanced stages of CKD in most instances. [6-8] Among the studies that were community-based, most of the studies did not repeat the laboratory investigations after 3 months to confirm CKD based on the generally accepted definition. [9-13] The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence
This paper is based on statistical analysis of rate of kidney renal failure taking into account that the variables of interest are sex and age group. The nature of the data used herein is secondary data, which was obtained from University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) medical record for consecutive ten (10) years (1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007), while monthly reported cases was collected and analyzed. Our present study has been carried out in order to determine whether the effect of renal failure depends on age and sex, and to look at the prevalence of kidney (renal) failure, over the period of study. Appropriate statistical techniques have been used to test the difference of means (ttest) and contingency table (x 2 -test), based on the analysis of results. The analysis has been done for significant at 5% level of significance. The empirical results are obtained from the tests of two different means which reveal that there is a significant difference in the prevalent of renal failure between male and female. Resultantly, the impact of kidney renal failure has been focused both on two parameters of age and sex. Finally, some significant suggestions based on our empirical results and observations have also been proposed for preventing kidney renal failure and future scope of present study.

Introduction: Kidney disease is a growing worldwide public health problem and prevalence varies within and between countries. Epidemiological data is therefore imperative for prioritization and adequate resource allocation, especially in settings where no previous data exists. Aim: To determine the prevalence and pattern of renal diseases among adults admitted into the medical wards of Rivers State University Teaching Hospital, Rivers State, Southern Nigeria. Methods: Case notes of all patients admitted into the medical wards were reviewed from January 2019 to December 2022. Data extracted included sociodemographic variables, diagnosis and treatment outcomes of patients with renal disease. Results: Of the 2,725 patients admitted to the medical wards, 386 (14.2%) had renal disease. The mean age of patients was 51.2 ± 16 years. There was a male preponderance of 210 (54.4%) with a M: F = 1.3:1. The most prevalent renal diseases were hypertensive nephropathy 125(32.4%), diabetic nephrop...

To be able to define some risk factors for renal disease in an unselected population of Nigerians the Nigerian Association of Nephrology conducted a screening exercise during the National Kidney Disease Awareness and Sensitization Programme whose theme was "Renal Disease in Nigeria: Taming the Lion" which was held at the capital city of Abuja on the 9thof February 2006. A total of unselected 129 respondents who consented were screened. One hundred and nine (56 male and 72 female respondents) were analyzed and the others [2] could not be analyzed because of incomplete data. The mean age of respondents was 27.03 (± 10.75) years and the majority (89.1 %), were in the age group 15 to 44 years with no sex preference. Most of the respondents had normal 8\[1. the mean being 23.32 (±4.52)Kg/m2. More females than males were found to be obese (16% versus 4%), the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.76). A relatively high percentage of respondents gave a positive famil...
Chronic renal failure at the Olabisi Onabanjo university teaching hospital, Sagamu, Nigeria
African health sciences, 2006
Background and objectives of the study: Chronic kidney disease is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in Nigeria. This study aims at determining the pattern of chronic renal failure (CRF) in a Nigerian University Teaching Hospital. Methods: The study was a 10-year retrospective study of consecutive cases of CRF seen at Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, Ogun State, Nigeria. Results: The frequency of CRF in the population was 3.6% (182 of 5,107). There were 90 males and 63 females (1.42:1). The peak age was between 20-49 years, with a mean of 39.6+14.8 (range 14 -72years). The commonest causes were chronic glomerulonephritis 63(41.2%), hypertensive nephrosclerosis 40(26.1%) and diabetes mellitus 20(13.1%). The commonest symptoms were oedema, vomiting, oliguria and dyspnea occurring at 118(77.1%), 96(62.7%), 89(58.2%) and 87(56.9%) respectively. The mean creatinine clearance value at presentation was 6.5+8.1mls/min, while the commonest complications were hypertension 68 (44.4%), biventricular failure 32 (20.9%) and urinary tract infection 29 (19%). The mean presenting systolic and diastolic blood pressures were 167.34+37.6mmHg and 106.03+28.9 mmHg respectively. The mean total haemodialysis session per patient was 3.5+1.6 (range 1-7sessions). Only 34(22.2%) of the patients were able to afford haemodialysis. The majority 21(61.8%) of these could only afford 3 haemodialysis sessions while only 2(5.9%) patients had up to 7 dialysis sessions in the center. Conclusion: Chronic glomerulonephritis, hypertensive nephrosclerosis and diabetes mellitus are the commonest causes of chronic renal failure in Nigeria. Most of the patients presented late. Cardiovascular complications and infections were responsible for a greater morbidity among the patients.
Prevalence and Predictors of Chronic Kidney Disease in a Semiurban Community in Lagos
International Journal of Nephrology
Background and Objectives. The prevalence of noncommunicable diseases like chronic kidney disease is on the rise in third-world countries. In Nigeria and most sub-Saharan African countries, there is dearth of community-based studies on prevalence and predictors of chronic kidney disease, prompting us to undertake this study. Materials and Methods. This was a cross-sectional study, aimed at ascertaining the prevalence and predictors of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a semiurban community in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria. The study’s subjects were recruited from Agbowa community in Ikosi-Ejirin Local Council Development Area of Lagos state. The community was randomly selected. Questionnaires were used to obtain relevant information from the subjects. Body mass index, anthropometric measurements, and other relevant data were also collected. Results. CKD was observed in 30 subjects given prevalence of 7.5% in the community. Nine out of the 30 subjects (30%) with CKD were males, while 21 (70...
Profile of chronic kidney disease modifiable risk factors in a rural community of south east Nigeria
BMC public health, 2018
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is on the increase globally. Prevention of this condition is ideal, however early detection of the disease becomes desirable where the disease process has begun as there are known interventions which can slow the progress to end stage renal disease (ESRD). This study aimed at detecting the profile of some modifiable risk factors for CKD in a cohort of household heads in a rural community with limited resources for managing chronic kidney diseases. The study was conducted in a rural community in southeast Nigeria. One hundred and forty five household heads from randomly selected households were interviewed. Their blood pressures were taken and their urine tested. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 21. Simple frequencies and means were calculated. A total of 145 house hold heads were enrolled. Their mean age was 45.08 (19.65) years. Forty-seven percent had no prior knowledge of their blood pressure and 31.5% were found to be hypertensive. Only one st...
