STATISTICAL ANALYSIS ON THE RATE OF KIDNEY(RENAL) FAILURE
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.

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

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...

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...
COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE OCCURRENCE OF RENAL FAILURE AMONG SUDANESE PEOPLE
The kidneys are important organs responsible for filtration, reabsorption and excretion of waste from the body. Renal failure (RF) is mainly determined by a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR); the rate at which blood is filtered in the glomeruli of the kidneys. The decrease of filtration rate is detected by a decrease in or absence of urine production or determination of waste products (creatinine or urea) in the blood. Hematuria (blood loss in the urine) and proteinuria (protein loss in the urine) may be noted in relation to this failure. This study was aimed to compare the occurrence of renal failure among Sudanes people. Eighty patients with renal failure (RF) registered at hospitals in Khartoum State agreed to participate in this study between April-May / 2015. Data was collected from each patient using a specific questionnaire designed for this purpose. Results: revealed that the high percentage of RF was among men (62.5%) compared to 37.5% among females. Moreover, 40% of these patients were found to smoke cigarettes. Regarding family history, 35% of those having high percentage of RF had a family history while 65% without family history. Also of these patients 65% were reported suffering from chronic diseases before RF onset and 35% did not show any sign of disease before it. The chronic diseases included hypertension (58%), diabetes mellitus (30.7%) and heart disease (3.7 %%). In the meantime, 5% of those reported with renal failure was observed to be susceptible to other diseases. Conclusion: The study concluded that chronic disease was found to be main causes of RF and the disease was higher among officials and that a high percentage of it was reported among males and most of them without family history and non-smokers

Chronic Kidney/ Renal Failure (CKF) is a disease in which kidney fails to remove the waste products from the blood which make the human life very difficult, ultimately reduces the life expectancy of patients. This condition usually leads to renal replacement therapy. The primary objective of current study is the evaluation of the risk factors of disease (CKF). And formulate a predictive model for CKF, which helps in determining the likelihood of having this disease for a normal person in the presence of different risk factors. A Case Control study design has been used to collect the data. The sample of 180 (90 cases and 90 controls) were selected from four different hospitals (Aziz Bhatti Shaheed Hospital, Chenab Hospital, Jinnah Hospital and Khawajgan Trust) of Gujrat, Pakistan. Odds Ratio, Chi-Square test of association and conditional Logistic Regression analysis has been used as data analysis techniques. Study results have shown that, Blood pressure, Diabetes Mellitus, Blood tra...
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...
