Abstract
INTRODUCTION Currently, kidney disease is an increasing major health problem worldwide. It is expected to be the 5th ranked cause of death by 2040. If it is early detected, further complication caused by kidney disease will be minimized. An assessment of impaired glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has potential aids in early identification and treatment of kidney disease. However, in hospital practice instead of using eGFR, direct measurement of serum creatinine level is used for assessing renal function. Hence, this study is aimed to assess the magnitude and associated factors of impaired glomerular filtration rate among admitted patients in Wolkite University Specialized Teaching Hospital (WKUSTH). OBJECTIVE To assess the magnitude and associated factors of impaired glomerular filtration rate in WKUSTH, Ethiopia 2023. METHOD Institutional based cross-sectional study with secondary data was conducted. 338 participants were selected by a convenient sampling technique. Epidata 3.1 version for data entry and SPSS version 20 for data analysis was used. Bivariate analysis was used to screen candidate variables for multivariate analysis. In the multivariate analysis a P-value < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS The study enrolled 338 patients admitted to WUSTH. Seventy (20.7%) (95% CI: 16.6-25.4%) of them had impaired eGFR according to Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD-4). older age (AOR 3.38, 95% CI; 1.31, 8.71), hypertension (AOR 17.8, 95% CI; 7.75, 41.22), anemia (AOR 2.51, 95% CI; 1.11, 5.83) DM (AOR 11.2, 95% CI; 4.11, 30.73), and high BMI (AOR 7.56, 95% CI; 3.16, 18.08), were independently associated with impaired eGFR. CONCLUSIONS The magnitude of impaired eGFR was prevalent among adult patients admitted to WKUSTH medical ward with different medical conditions. Old age, Hypertension, Diabetes, high body mass index, and Anemia were significantly associated with impaired eGFR both in CKD-EPI and MDRD-4 equation. Estimation of GFR for all hospitalized adults with known CKD risk factors might help in early detection of CKD and prevent complications.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore chronic kidney disease (CKD)-related knowledge and its predictors among non-dialysis patients with CKD in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). It was a cross-sectional survey conducted at 2 nephrology centers in KSA. Data were gathered using a survey questionnaire that included sociodemographic information and enquiries about CKD. The questionnaire used to explore CKD knowledge consisted of 24 questions with 3 multiple-choice answers for each question: "True," "False," and "I don't know." Data were obtained from 185 patients who visited a nephrology clinic. The major study population was drawn from the western region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The participants' mean (SD) total renal disease knowledge scores was 12.56 (3.55) out of a maximum of 24 points on the renal disease knowledge assessment. This suggests that the participants, on average, exhibited a moderate level of knowledge regarding renal disease. Most respondents correctly answered questions related to blood and urine tests (90.3% and 89.7%, respectively), living with a single kidney (88.1%), kidney function in blood cleansing (83.8%), risk factors like diabetes (82.7%), and hypertension (80%). Additionally, they recognized symptoms such as water retention (85.9%) and fatigue (61.6%) and the potential of certain medications to slow chronic kidney disease progression (72.4%). However, fewer respondents correctly identified nausea/vomiting (31.4%) and loss of appetite (31.4%) as signs of kidney disease, the role of kidneys in maintaining blood pressure (58.9%) and bone health (16.2%), and obesity as a risk factor (54.1%). Furthermore, there were notable differences in knowledge scores between genders, with men scoring significantly higher than women (2.05, P = .041). In general, the understanding of CKD within the CKD patient community in the KSA was at a moderate level. However, male respondents had a greater understanding of CKD than did female respondents. The findings of this study indicate an urgent need to conduct educational activities to improve CKD knowledge among patients with CKD in the KSA.

Abstract
Background and objective Given its ever-increasing burden, chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a significant public health threat. CKD is characterized by a gradual alteration in the kidney's normal glomerular filtration rate, which results in the progressive loss of kidney function over a period of time ranging from a few months to years. Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN) are well-known risk factors for developing CKD and end-stage renal failure. In light of this, this study aimed to assess the awareness, prevalence, and risk factors of CKD in patients with diabetes and those with HTN in the Aseer region, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods A correlational cross-sectional study was conducted among a sample of people across Saudi Arabia. The data collection was conducted via an online questionnaire circulated on social media platforms. The study questionnaire included socioeconomic and demographic information and medical history of DM, HTN, and CKD. Also, patients' awareness of and attitude towards CKD were assessed. Results A total of 301 diabetic or hypertensive patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria completed the study questionnaire. Of them, 174 (57.8%) were aged less than 55 years, while 127 (42.2%) were aged more than 55 years; 200 (66.4%) patients were males. A total of 94 (31.2%) study patients were diabetic, 64 (21.3%) were hypertensive, and 143 (47.5%) were both diabetic and hypertensive; 226 (75.1%) study patients had an overall good awareness of CKD while only 75 (24.9%) showed a poor awareness level. Higher awareness was associated with patients' age, education, and having CKD, DM, or HTN (p<0.05). Conclusion Our findings revealed that CKD was not common among study patients, and its prevalence was found to be less than estimated based on many studies in the literature. Also, diabetic and hypertensive patients showed a higher than satisfactory level of awareness of CKD, especially young patients with high levels of education.

Abstract
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. However, limited evidence is available about its incidence and predictors in Ethiopia, specifically in the Harari region. Methods A retrospective follow-up study was conducted among 520 diabetes patients who followed their treatment at governmental hospitals in the Harari region between 1 September 2012, and 30 May 2022. The risk of developing CKD was calculated with a 95% CI, and the risk was stratified by type of diabetes mellitus. Predictors of CKD were determined using the Gompertz regression model with the baseline Cox model. Results Data from 494 patients were included in the final analysis with 26 (5%) excluded. A total of 51 patients (10.32%) developed CKD over the 10-year follow-up period with an incidence rate of 2.16 cases (95% CI 1.64-2.84) per 100 person-years of observation. The risk of CKD was increased by three times (AHR: 3.09, 45 95% CI: 1.56, 6.14) among patients older than 60 years and by more than three times (AHR: 3.53, 95% CI: 1.43, 8.71) among patients with diabetes mellitus for longer than 5 years of stay with the diabetes mellitus. Moreover, the risk of CKD was increased four-fold among patients with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels <40 mg/dL (AHR: 3.84, 95% CI, 1.80-8.18) and those with positive baseline proteinuria (AHR: 3.77, 95% CI: 1.43-8.71). Conclusion We found that one in ten diabetic patients had developed CKD within 10 years of the diabetes mellitus diagnosis. Advanced age, longer duration of diabetes, lower baseline HDL-C level, and proteinuria had increased the hazards of developing CKD. We recommend a more focused follow-up of older adult patients with advanced disease status at baseline for optimal control of diabetes mellitus that prevents its furthering to CKD.

Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, awareness creation and risk communication of Covid-19 pandemic amongst non-literate population in South-West Nigeria: Lessons for future health campaign. J Public Health Afr 2023; 14:2673. [PMID: 38204812 PMCID: PMC10774851 DOI: 10.4081/jphia.2023.2673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Risk communication of Covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria appeared to be urban-centered with the dominant use of social media, print communication and other controlled media. In such times of public health emergencies, non-literate population could be vulnerable as a result of their limited understanding of the nature of such health risk. Therefore, the study seeks to investigate the extent to which Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) communicated the risk of Covid-19 disease to non-literate population in its public health campaign during the pandemic in South-West Nigeria. The study adopts risk communication theory which advances the approach communication should take during public health emergencies. Using descriptive cross-sectional mixed methods research design, a sample of 420 respondents were purposively selected from 6 towns in the rural areas of Lagos, Oyo and Osun states to examine the level of awareness on Covid-19 pandemic among non-literates. In addition, NCDC risk communication on Covid-19 for non-literate population were analyzed from 3 Jingles in Yoruba language as well as 9 flyers designed for Covid-19 disease from NCDC websites. Results showed that NCDC awareness creation on Covid-19 disease for non-literates in Southwest achieved significant success as a result of the medium used in creating awareness. Specifically, radio was highly rated among majority of the respondents (60.4%) followed by health workers (19.8%) as channels that created understandable message on Covid-19 safety protocols. Further findings on Jingles content revealed that all Covid-19 safety protocols were communicated in Yoruba language for Southwest populace. However, NCDC fall short in communicating Covid-19 risk effectively for non-literates in Southwest as jingles only buttressed the Covid-19 safety protocols and symptoms as well as the need to comply, without educating the masses on the dreadful nature of the disease and its dynamics. Though flyers designed by the NCDC communicated risk to an extent, nevertheless, graphics and symbols on Covid-19 disease were complimented by words in English language only, which could be difficult for non-literates to decipher. Based on the findings, the study recommends that public health agencies need to educate non-literate population about the nature of a disease more than creating awareness about the outbreak of a disease, and such education should be strategic, context-specific, and evidence-based.

[PMID: 37668267 DOI: 10.1111/jocn.16876] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2023] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023]
Abstract
AIMS To examine the relationship among eHealth literacy, empowerment and self-management and the mediating effects of empowerment in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients in the eHealthcare context. BACKGROUND Self-management is an essential aspect of healthcare in delaying disease progression for DKD. In the eHealthcare era, health services providing self-management are transforming. The ability and confidence of patients to use eHealth services is a critical issue that impacts the effectiveness of self-management, but little is known about the role of eHealth literacy and empowerment in self-management. DESIGN A cross-sectional study guided by the STROBE. METHODS Overall, 127 Taiwanese patients were enrolled using convenience sampling. Data collection used structured questionnaires and chart reviews. Multiple regression was used to infer self-management predictors, and SPSS PROCESS macro and bootstrapping verified the mediating effects. RESULTS Empowerment and eHealth literacy both showed significant positive correlations with self-management. Empowerment was the main predictor of self-management and had a complete mediating effect between eHealth literacy and self-management. CONCLUSION Increasing patients' eHealth literacy can improve empowerment and prevent health inequality issues. Healthcare providers should consider improving patients' eHealth literacy to enhance their self-management. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Healthcare service systems need to create user-friendly eHealthcare environments, and healthcare professionals can provide multifaceted instructions that fit patients' eHealth literacy levels to enhance their motivation and confidence in disease care, thus cultivating positive self-management behaviours. IMPACT The popularity of eHealthcare services aimed at promoting self-management behaviours is increasing. However, the level of eHealth literacy is an essential factor that affects the effectiveness of self-management in the healthcare environment. In addition, empowerment is a major critical influence factor of self-management and a completely mediating variable between self-management and eHealth literacy. Consequently, healthcare providers should consider promoting patients' eHealth literacy to empower people using eHealthcare services for implementing self-management. REPORTING METHOD The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in cross-sectional studies (STROBE) checklist was used to ensure comprehensive reporting. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Patients were diagnosed with DKD in the study hospital. Physicians and case managers transferred patients to research assistants who screened them for the inclusion criteria and invited them to participate in this study if they met the requirements. After participants signed informed consent, the research nurse encouraged participants to respond to the research questionnaire face to face.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease is one of the main causes of mortality worldwide. It affects more than 800 million patients globally, accounting for approximately 10% of the general population. The significant burden of the disease prompts healthcare systems to implement adequate preventive and therapeutic measures. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to provide a concise summary of the findings published in the existing body of research about the influence that mobile health technology has on the outcomes of patients with the disease. A comprehensive systematic literature review was conducted from inception until March 1st, 2023. This systematic review and meta-analysis included all clinical trials that compared the efficacy of mobile app-based educational programs to that of more conventional educational treatment for the patients. Eleven papers were included in the current analysis, representing 759 CKD patients. 381 patients were randomly assigned to use the mobile apps, while 378 individuals were assigned to the control group. The mean systolic blood pressure was considerably lower in the mobile app group (MD -4.86; 95%-9.60, -0.13; p=0.04). Meanwhile, the mean level of satisfaction among patients who used the mobile app was considerably greater (MD 0.75; 95% CI 0.03, 1.46; p=0.04). Additionally, the mean self-management scores in the mobile app groups were significantly higher (SMD 0.534; 95% CI 0.201, 0.867; p=0.002). Mobile health applications are potentially valuable interventions for patients. This technology improved the self-management of the disease, reducing the mean levels of systolic blood pressure with a high degree of patient satisfaction.

Abstract
Introduction patients' satisfaction is an important aspect in determining the quality of health care since it reveals how staff are progressing toward the patients' objectives.Objective: the study determined the treatment perception and expectations among diabetes and hypertensive patients in a teaching hospital in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Methods the study employed a cross-sectional design approach with a sample size of 200 participants. Descriptive analyses were used to answer the research questions while inferential statistics were used to test hypotheses at a significant level of p < 0.05. Results the findings revealed that 50% (n=196) and 57.1% (n=196) of the patients with diabetes and hypertension were above 60 years with mean age and standard deviation being 3.36 ± 0.72, while 63.3% (n=196) and 64.3% (n=196) of the patients with diabetes and hypertension were females. Overall, the results revealed a significant difference between the domains of participants´ expectations and perceptions, with the expectations domains being significantly higher for both diabetes and hypertensive patients with mean score and standard deviation being (-5.14 (±1.62) and -4.55 (±1.83)) respectively. However, the difference in the gap scores between the participants with diabetes and those with hypertension across the domains of patients´ expectations and perceptions was significant. Furthermore, apart from the tangible domain 19.76 (±0.87) (p < 0.05), the findings from the study showed that participants with diabetes had significantly higher expectation scores, when compared with those with hypertension in all domains. Additionally, the participants with diabetes showed the highest level of perception in the tangible 15.75 (±1.43) and empathy 20.50 (±1.20) domains while those with hypertension showed the highest level of perception in the reliability, responsiveness, and assurance domains (21.66 (±2.45), 16.58 (±1.38) and 21.43 (±2.03) p < 0.001 respectively). Conclusion efforts should be intensified by nurses and all other stakeholders to exceed patients´ expectations by continually improving the quality of health care and services offered to patients.

Abstract
Background Chronic kidney disease is defined as a reduction in glomerular filtration rate below 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and presence of albuminuria over a period of time. Globally, 10%-15% of populations are affected by chronic kidney disease. Studies conducted in Jimma, Addis Ababa, and the Tigray region were conducted on a single chronic disease and did not include human immune viruses. In addition, there has been no such study conducted in the Amhara region. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the magnitude and associated factors of chronic kidney disease among chronic patients who are followed up at an outpatient department. Methods An institutional-based cross-sectional study of 480 chronic patients was conducted at Dessie Referral Hospital, Dessie, Ethiopia between 15 March and 16 April 2020. Data were entered into Epidata and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Binary logistic regression models were performed to identify factors associated with chronic kidney disease. The variables with a p-value ≤0.25 were considered to be a candidate for multivariable logistic regression. A p-value ≤0.05 was considered a statistically significant association. Results The magnitude of chronic kidney disease among the study participants was 21.3%. Variables such as hypertension [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 2.6, 95% CI: 1.58-4.27], use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (AOR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.41-3.97), smoking (AOR: 4.4, 95% CI: 2.65-7.34), routine physical activity (AOR: 0.6, 95% CI: 0.35-0.94), and obesity (AOR: 3.0, 95% CI: 1.76-5.05) were significantly associated with the chronic kidney disease. Conclusion This study found that the magnitude of chronic kidney disease in the study area was high. Hypertension, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, smoking, routine physical activity, and obesity were found to be significant factors for chronic kidney disease.

[PMID: 37101162 PMCID: PMC10134524 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-023-03120-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal failure is one of the most serious vascular effects of hypertension. For better therapy and prevention of complications, early kidney disease identification in these patients is absolutely essential. However, current studies have proposed plasma Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (pNGAL) to be a better biomarker comparative to serum creatinine (SCr). This study assessed the diagnostic utility of plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (pNGAL) as a biomarker for early nephropathy diagnosis in hypertensive individuals. METHODS This hospital-based case-control study comprised 140 hypertensives and 70 healthy participants. A well-structured questionnaire and patient case notes were used to document relevant demographic and clinical information. 5 ml of venous blood sample was taken to measure fasting blood sugar levels, creatinine, and plasma NGAL levels. All data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS release 20.0, copyrite©SPSS Inc.) and a p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS In this study the plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels were significantly higher in cases compared to controls. Hypertensive cases also had significantly higher waist-circumference compared to the control group. The median fasting blood sugar level was significantly higher in cases compared to controls. This study established the use of Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), and Cockcroft and Gault formula (CG) as the most accurate predictive equations for assessing renal dysfunction. The threshold for NGAL above which renal impairment can be assessed was found to be 109.4 ng/ml (sen-91%, spec. - 68%), 120 ng/ml (sen- 100%, spec- 72%) and 118.6 ng/ml (sen- 83%, spec- 72%) for MDRD, CKD-EPI and CG equations respectively. The prevalence of CKD was 16.4%, 13.6% and 20.7% respectively using the MDRD, CKD-EPI and CG. CONCLUSION From this study, pNGAL is a better indicator of kidney impairment in the early stages of CKD as compared with sCr in general hypertensive population.

Patient and health care provider knowledge of diabetes and diabetic microvascular complications: a comprehensive literature review. Rev Endocr Metab Disord 2023; 24:221-239.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy occur in more than 50% of people with diabetes, contributing substantially to morbidity and mortality. Patient understanding of these microvascular complications is essential to ensure early recognition and treatment of these sequalae as well as associated symptoms, yet little is known about patient knowledge of microvascular sequalae. In this comprehensive literature review, we provide an overview of existing knowledge regarding patient knowledge of diabetes, retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy. We also discuss health care provider's knowledge of these sequalae given that patients and providers must work together to achieve optimal care. We evaluated 281 articles on patient and provider knowledge of diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy as well as predictors of improved knowledge and screening practices. Results demonstrated that patient and provider knowledge of microvascular sequalae varied widely between studies, which may reflect sociocultural or methodologic differences. Knowledge assessment instruments varied between studies with limited validation data and few studies controlled for confounding. Generally, improved patient knowledge was associated with greater formal education, longer diabetes duration, and higher socioeconomic status. Fewer studies examined provider knowledge of sequalae, yet these studies identified multiple misconceptions regarding appropriate screening practices for microvascular complications and the need to screen patients who are asymptomatic. Further investigations are needed that use well validated measures, control for confounding, and include diverse populations. Such studies will allow identification of patients and providers who would benefit from interventions to improve knowledge of microvascular complications and, ultimately, improve patient outcomes.

Absence of significant association of trace elements in nails with urinary KIM-1 biomarker among residents of Addis Ababa in Upper Awash Basin, Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study. Biometals 2022; 35:1341-1358.

Abstract
The Akaki River in the Upper Awash Basin, which flows through Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, has been highly polluted by sewage from factories and residential areas. A population-based cross-sectional study was used to assess the association between trace elements and kidney injury from residents living in polluted areas downstream (Akaki-Kality) versus upstream (Gullele) in Sub-Cities of Addis Ababa. A total of 95 individuals (53 from Akaki-Kality and 42 from Gullele) were included in the study. Kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), lead, arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, lead, manganese, zinc, iron, copper, chromium and nickel were evaluated in residents' urine and nail samples. A large proportion (74%) of the sample population contained KIM-1, including 81% residents in Akaki-Kality and 64% residents in Gullele. KIM-1 was, however, not significantly different (p = 0.05) between the two Sub-Cities, with median of 0.224 ng/mL in Akaki-Kality and 0.152 ng/mL in Gullele. Most of the analyzed elements, except Pb, As, Cd and Co, were found in all of the nail samples, with median (µg/g) in the range of 442‒714 Fe, 97.0‒246 Zn, 11.6‒24.1 Mn, 4.49‒5.85 Cu, 1.46‒1.66 Cr and 1.22‒1.41 Ni. The high incidence of KIM-1 indicates a potential for long term renal tubular damage among residents of the Sub-Cities. The concentrations of the elements in nails were, however, not significantly associated (p = 0.05) with the corresponding levels of KIM-1 in urine. Hence, the observed KIM-1 might be related to exposure to toxic substances or factors other than those included in this study.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), which affects about 10% of global population, has become a global public health crisis in recent decades. It is well recognized that health information dissemination could change health behaviors, thereby greatly improving the early diagnosis and prevention of diseases. Due to fast dissemination, wide audience, intuitive and vivid, popularization through short videos has rapidly developed into the new main battlefield of health information. The objective of this study was to describe the properties of the CKD-related health information on short video apps.
Methods
Searching on short video apps with high-frequency words in kidney disease as keywords, the basic information of the uploaders was retrieved and extracted short video. Five quality dimensions, awareness, popularity, utility, validity and quality, of each video were assessed with numeric rating scale (NRS) by five volunteers with CKD and three nephrologists.
Results
From the platform of douyin, 65 uploaders and their 3973 short videos of CKD-related health information were investigated in this study. Most information of short videos had relatively high level in awareness, popularity and utility assessment, but some information had relatively low level in validity and quality assessment; 24 (36.9%) uploaders were from governmental hospital (tertiary hospital); 19 uploaders (29.2%) uploaded more than 100 short videos and 49 uploaders (75.4%) updated their videos weekly, and 16 uploaders (24.6%) didn’t update short videos more than one month. There were 4 uploaders (6.2%) have more than 1 million follows, and 39 uploaders (60%) had follows less than 10,000. “Lifestyles”, “Common symptoms of kidney disease” and “Nephritis or kidney disease” were the three main contents of these short videos. The comprehensive data of uploaders with millions of follows in nephrology specialty were much lower than that of orthopedics and other specialty.
Conclusion
The validity and quality of short video is still unsatisfactory, and CKD-related health information also need to be led and improved, although the awareness, popularity, and utility of health information about CKD is acceptable. The public should be selective and cautious in seeking CKD information on social media.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Contemporary data on the attainment of optimal diabetes treatment goals and the burden of diabetes complications in adult populations with type 2 diabetes in Africa are lacking. We aimed to document the current status of attainment of three key indicators of optimal diabetes care and the prevalence of five diabetes complications in adult African populations with type 2 diabetes. METHODS We systematically searched Embase, PubMed and the Cochrane library for published studies from January 2000 to December 2020. Included studies reported any information on the proportion of attainment of optimal glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), blood pressure (BP) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) goals and/or prevalence of five diabetes complications (diabetic peripheral neuropathy, retinopathy, nephropathy, foot ulcers and peripheral arterial disease). Random effect model meta-analysis was performed to determine the pooled proportion of attainment of the three treatment goals and the prevalence of five diabetes complications. RESULTS In total, 109 studies with a total of 63 890 participants (53.3% being females) were included in the meta-analysis. Most of the studies were conducted in Eastern African countries (n=44, 40.4%). The pooled proportion of attainment of an optimal HbA1c, BP and LDLC goal was 27% (95% CI 24 to 30, I2=94.7%), 38% (95% CI 30 to 46, I2=98.7%) and 42% (95% CI 32 to 52, I2=97.4%), respectively. The pooled prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, peripheral arterial disease and foot ulcers was 38% (95% CI 31 to 45, I2=98.2%), 32% (95% CI 28 to 36, I2=98%), 31% (95% CI 22 to 41, I2=99.3%), 19% (95% CI 12 to 25, I2=98.1%) and 11% (95% CI 9 to 14, I2=97.4%), respectively. CONCLUSION Attainment of optimal diabetes treatment goals, especially HbA1c, in adult patients with type 2 diabetes in Africa remains a challenge. Diabetes complications, especially diabetic peripheral neuropathy and retinopathy, are highly prevalent in adult populations with type 2 diabetes in Africa.

Abstract
Background: Chronic kidney disease, a global public health problem, results in kidney damage or a gradual decline in the glomerular filtration rate. Alport syndrome is commonly characterized by chronic glomerulonephritis caused by a structural disorder in the glomerular basement membrane. Currently, three disease-causing genes, namely collagen type IV alpha 3–5 (COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5), have been associated with the occurrence of Alport syndrome. Methods: We enrolled a Chinese family where the affected individuals suffered from recurrent hematuria and proteinuria. The proband was selected for whole-exome sequencing to identify the pathogenic mutations in this family. Results: After data filtering, a novel heterozygous COL4A4 variant (NM_000092: c.853G>A/p. G285A) was identified as the putative genetic lesion in the affected individuals. Further co-segregation analysis using Sanger sequencing confirmed that this novel COL4A4 mutation (c.853G>A/p. G285A) exists only in the affected individuals and is absent in other healthy family members as well as in the control cohort of 200 individuals from the same locality. According to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines, the mutation was classified as ‘potentially pathogenic’. A bioinformatics-based prediction analysis revealed that this mutation is pathogenic and may disrupt the structure and function of type IV collagen. This variant is located at an evolutionarily conserved site of COL4A4. Conclusion: In this study, we identified a novel heterozygous COL4A4 variant (c.853G>A) in a Chinese AS family and assisted to diagnose this AS proband as autosomal-dominant Alport syndrome (ADAS). Our study expands the spectrum of Alport syndrome mutations and contributes to the genetic counseling and diagnosis of patients with Alport syndrome.

Abstract
The acute coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a significant impact on the incidence and prevalence of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease globally and in low-income settings. Chronic kidney disease increases the risk of developing COVID-19 and COVID-19 causes acute kidney injury directly or indirectly and is associated with high mortality in severe cases. Outcomes of COVID-19-associated kidney disease were not equitable globally owing to a lack of health infrastructure, challenges in diagnostic testing, and management of COVID-19 in low-income settings. COVID-19 also significantly impacted kidney transplant rates and mortality among kidney transplant recipients. Vaccine availability and uptake remains a significant challenge in low- and lower-middle-income countries compared with high-income countries. In this review, we explore the inequities in low- and lower-middle-income countries and highlight the progress made in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of patients with COVID-19 and kidney disease. We recommend further studies into the challenges, lessons learned, and progress made in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of patients with COVID-19-related kidney diseases and suggest ways to improve the care and management of patients with COVID-19 and kidney disease.

Abstract
Background Chronic kidney disease is defined as a progressive loss of kidney function occurring over several months to years. Programs to detect chronic kidney disease, linked to comprehensive primary and secondary Prevention strategies are rare in our country. This study aimed to assess the proportion of chronic kidney disease and its associated factors among adult diabetic patients. Methods An institutional-based cross-sectional study design was used. Adult Diabetic Patients (≥18 years of age) coming to the medical outpatient clinic were considered as study participants and they were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were checked for completeness, then entered into Epi Data 3.1, and exported to SPSS Version 24 for analysis. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, crosstab, and median were utilized. chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration equations for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate Simple binary logistic regression was conducted to identify candidate variables for multiple binary logistic regression at a p-value of <0.2. Those variables whose P-value <0.05 in multiple binary logistic regression were considered as significantly associated variables with chronic kidney diseases. Result A total of 329 individuals were participating in the study. Of which 199 (60.5%) were males. The median age of participants was 39 (IQR; 28: 56) years. Of the total participants, 125(38%) had no formal education. The proportion of chronic kidney disease was 16.7% (95% CI: 12.8%–21%), The study also found that older age (AOR = 3.02; 95%CI: 1.37, 6.69), pre-existing hypertension (AOR = 4.85; 95%CI: 2.07, 11.3), current systolic blood pressure ≥140mmHg (AOR = 6.33, 95%CI: 3.34, 11.99), and presence of Albuminuria (AOR = 2.98, 95%CI: 1.26, 7.09) were associated with chronic kidney disease. Conclusions The proportion of CKD among diabetic patients in Tibebe Ghion Specialized Hospital was relatively high as compared to other studies. Health care professionals should consider strict follow-up for older age patients, patients with co-morbidities like hypertension, and for those patients with Albuminuria.

Abstract
Introduction Good knowledge and early identification of chronic kidney disease (CKD) can help in preventing disease progression in its early stages and reducing undesired outcomes. The aim of the current study was to assess the level of public knowledge about CKD, determine predictors of better knowledge, and to construct and validate a CKD knowledge scale for public health assessment and research use. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted using an electronic self-administered questionnaire. All people living in Lebanon and being 18 years of age and above were considered eligible for recruitment. CKD knowledge was assessed by a 37-item scale that was constructed by principal component analysis and then validated. The score of the CKD knowledge scale was computed from the extracted factors. A multivariable binomial logistic regression model evaluated the sociodemographic and clinical predictors of the knowledge score. Results A total of 1308 participants were included. The scale items converged over 9 factors with Eigenvalue greater than 1 and explaining 53.26% of the total variance, and the total scale had a high Cronbach’s alpha of 0.804. All items of the scale significantly correlated with the full scale with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.082 to 0.558. The ROC curve analysis determined an optimal cutoff point of better knowledge at 47.5 with 70.6% sensitivity and 44.2% specificity. The CKD knowledge score had a median of 51.00 (IQR 47.00–55.00). Higher knowledge score was significantly associated with old age (ORa = 1.018, 95% CI 1.006–1.030, P = 0.003),, occupation (ORa = 3.919, 95% CI 2.107–7.288, P < 0.001), and recent renal function assessment (ORa = 2.314, 95% CI 1.532–3.495, P < 0.001). However, a lower knowledge score was significantly associated with lower level of education (ORa = 0.462, 95% CI 0.327–0.653, P < 0.001). Conclusion A reliable tool to assess public knowledge and awareness about CKD was developed and validated. The overall knowledge was good, however, important gaps in CKD awareness were detected in some areas and subpopulations. Therefore, public health stakeholders need to implement targeted CKD educational activities to minimize the disease burden.

Measuring the Awareness of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) with Environmental Evaluation among Adult Diabetic Patients in Hail Region, Saudi Arabia. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 2022:4505345. [PMID: 35815250 PMCID: PMC9259236 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4505345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Introduction Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the main chronic complications of T2DM that happens among T2DM patients who have uncontrolled glucose. Because CKD is considered a silent disease, the diagnosis is usually made at late stages when there will be few chances to prevent the adverse outcome. Aim The goal of this study was to assess adult diabetic patients' awareness of developing chronic kidney disease at the community level in Hail region, Saudi Arabia, in 2022. Patients and Methods. This is a cross-sectional study conducted among diabetic patients in the Hail region, Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire translated into Arabic was distributed among patients with DM. The questionnaire covers social and demographic variables (such as age, gender, relationship status, and so on) as well as a 7-item questionnaire to assess the DM population's knowledge of CKD. Results 400 DM patients responded to our survey (51% females vs 49% males). Patients who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes were 23.8% and 40.5% had a diabetes duration of 5–15 years. Nearly half (46.8%) were considered as a poor level of awareness, 29.3% had a moderate, and 24% had a good awareness level. Factors associated with an increased level of awareness were being a bachelor's degree, being unmarried, being a student, and having a doctor as a source of CKD information. Conclusion There was a deficiency in the level of awareness among the diabetic patients in our region. Patients who were single with better education and who were well informed by the doctors about CKD information tend to be more aware of CKD as compared to other DM patients. Further research is warranted in order to establish the awareness level of DM patients regarding CKD and its complications.

SAGE Open Med 2022; 10:20503121221089442. [PMID: 35465636 PMCID: PMC9019378 DOI: 10.1177/20503121221089442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: The main aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to provide summarized evidence on the prevalence of chronic kidney disease and associated factors among patients with chronic illness in Ethiopia. Method: Databases of MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Cochrane library, and ScienceDirect were searched. In addition, gray literatures were searched manually from university repositories. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist was used to select potential studies. Microsoft Excel 2013 sheet template was used to extract data. The quality of included studies was assessed by utilizing the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. STATA software version 14.0 is used to compute the estimated pooled prevalence and associated factors of chronic kidney disease. Result: Twelve articles that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included. The pooled estimate of chronic kidney disease among patients with chronic illnesses in Ethiopia is 21.71% (95% confidence interval: 17.67, 25.74). The highest prevalence of chronic kidney disease among patients with chronic illnesses is from Oromia (32.55% (confidence interval: 19.91, 45.19)). Glomerular filtration rate showed a comparable pooled prevalence from Cockroft-Gault and MDRD methods; 22.38% (confidence interval: 15.83, 28.92), 22.18 (confidence interval: 18.01, 26.34), respectively. Hypertensives become more likely to have chronic kidney disease compared with normotensive patients, (odds ratio = 3.01, 95% confidence interval: 1.33, 6.81). Conclusion: Prevalence of chronic kidney disease among chronic illness patients was significantly high. Hypertension is significantly associated with chronic kidney disease. Hence, we recommend that continuous screening of possible risk factors and proper follow-up and management strategies should be designed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Currently, there are no data on prevalence and associated risk factors of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among patients with hypertension in rural Sierra Leone. PURPOSE To estimate the prevalence and associated risk factors of CKD in rural Sierra Leone. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study of hypertension patients aged between 18 and 75 years attending a non-communicable disease clinic at Koidu Government Hospital, Kono District, Sierra Leone was conducted between February and December 2020. Using systematic random sampling, a structured questionnaire, which comprised of questions on social demographic characteristics and past and current clinical history, was administered followed by measurement of creatinine and urinary protein and glucose. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was estimated using CKD-epidemiology formula without race as a factor. Baseline eGFR between 60-89 min/mL/1.73m2 and <60 min/mL/1.73m2 defined reduced eGFR and renal impairment, respectively. Estimated GFR less than 60 min/mL/1.73m2 measured two times at least 3 months apart was used to define CKD. RESULTS Ninety-six percent (n = 304) patients out of 317 patients were included in the study. Among all included patients, only 3.9% (n = 12) had eGFR of 90 min/mL/1.73m2 and above. The prevalence of renal impairment and CKD was 52% (158/304, CI 46.2-57.7) and 29.9% (91/304, CI 24.8-34.5), respectively. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, currently taking herbal medications as treatment of hypertension (OR 4.11 (CI 1.14-14.80), p = 0.03) and being overweight and/or obese (OR 2.16 (CI 1.24-3.78), p < 0.001) was associated with CKD. Additionally, receiving some education was associated with a 48% (OR 0.52 (CI 0.29-0.91), p = 0.02) reduced likelihood of CKD. CONCLUSION The prevalence of renal impairment and CKD is high among hypertensive patients in rural Sierra Leone. CKD was associated with current history of taking herbal medications and being overweight and/or obese. Additionally, CKD was associated with reduced likelihood in patients who received some education.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study determined the comparative renal functions on patients with diabetes treated with ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) plus either thiazide diuretics or calcium channel blockers (CCBs) in Northwestern Ethiopia. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study design was employed to collect the data from medical records of patients with diabetes followed for 1-5 years (N=404). SETTING The medical records of patients in chronic diabetic follow-up clinics of the hospital. PARTICIPANTS All the patients with diabetes medical records in Northwestern Ethiopian specialised hospital. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Exposures were ACEIs plus thiazide diuretics or CCBs collected from March to June 2020. Outcomes were defined as declining in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) values by ≥30% from the baseline recorded from 2015 to 2019. Descriptive and analytical statistics were illustrated to compare the study groups. Kaplan-Meier with log- rank test was used to plot the survival analyses curve. Potential factors substantially associated to renal events were examined using cox proportional hazards model. RESULT About 20% of patients developed renal events and significant numbers were from hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) users. The mean eGFR levels were significantly higher in patients on CCBs users over the follow-up years compared with HCT-based users. The CCBs users had an 18.8 mL/min/1.73 m2 higher in eGFR levels at the end of the follow-up period than HCT users (p<0.001). HCT users had shorter survival probability overtime to develop the outcomes compared with CCBs users (p=0.003). The CCBs-based regimen prevented risks of declining in renal function by 56.4% than HCT (p=0.001). Hazards of declining in eGFR levels were 93% higher for the patients with initial systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels were more than 150 mm Hg (p=0.006). CONCLUSION Compared with HCT, patients on CCBs had significantly prevented risks of renal events. However, both groups appeared with the same cardiovascular events. HCT-based regimen and higher initial SBP levels were significantly associated with eGFR reductions.

Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major health problem characterized by kidney dysfunction with progressive segmental glomerulosclerosis to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Due to lack of scientific data and comprehensive reports, the current systematic review provides an inclusive understanding and prospective associated with phytopharmacology of NEERI-KFT in CKD. The data was collected from more than five databases such as Science Direct, Google Scholar, Elsevier, PubMed, Springer, ACS publication etc using keywords like CKD/Kidney disease, epidemiology/prevalence, modern therapies for CKD management, NEERI-KFT and its role in kidney disease. The study was performed based on scientific reports screened by experts according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The pre-clinical and clinical findings suggested that NEERI-KFT has promising effects as nephroprotective and considered safe and well effective in primary care of kidney against disease. Phytopharmacological evaluation of NEERI-KFT suggest that it exhibit substantial potential against oxidative and inflammatory stress induced apoptosis by exerting antioxidants, nephroprotective and immunomodulatory effects. Hence, it can be enlighten that NEERI-KFT have potential herbs which exerts significant antioxidants, nephroprotective and immunomodulatory effects in the patients associated with renal dysfunction or CKD thus improving altered renal architecture and renal physiology. Clinically, it is concluded that NEERI-KFT works kidney malfunction and cease ESRD progression or even reduce the number of dialysis.

Abstract
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) among diabetic patients is becoming a global health burden with a high economic cost to health systems. The incidence of CKD is higher in low-income countries such as Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, there is no national representative evidence on the burden and determinants of CKD among patients with diabetes. Therefore, this review aimed to estimates the pooled burden and determinants of CKD among patients with diabetes. Methods: Published articles from various electronic databases such as Pub Med, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Scopes, Cochrane library, the Web of Science, and African Journals Online were accessed. Also, unpublished studies from Addis Ababa digital library were identified. We included all observational studies (cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort) in the review. Data were extracted on the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and analyzed using STATA 14.1 version. A random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled estimate with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Forest plots were used to visualize the presence of heterogeneity and estimate the pooled burden and determinants of chronic kidney disease among diabetic patients. The presence of publication bias was assessed by funnel plots and Egger's statistical tests. Results: Published (297) and unpublished (2) literature were identified from several databases and digital libraries, of which twelve articles were selected for final meta-analysis. Significant heterogeneity was observed across studies (I2 = 85.2%), which suggests a random-effects model to estimate pooled burden. The analysis found that the pooled burden of CKD among patients with diabetes was 18.22% (95% CI: 15.07-21.38). Factors such as hypertension (OR = 2.65, 95%, CI: 1.38, 5.09), type of DM (OR = 0.33, 95%, CI: 0.14-0.76), and duration of DM (OR = 0.51, 95%, CI: 0.34-0.77) were found to have significant association with CKD. Conclusion: The current review revealed a higher burden of CKD among patients with diabetes in Ethiopia. The presence of hypertension, type II diabetes, and duration of diabetes for a longer duration were found to be independent determinants of CKD among patients with diabetes. For better control of chronic kidney disease, integrated management of hypertension and DM should be designed with a special focus on chronic diabetic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive loss of the kidney function which leads to a decreased kidneys' ability to process waste in the blood and it affects the other important functions of the kidney. The disease has different stages that can alter the health status of individuals. During the early stages, patients may present with a normal or slight decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and albuminuria. Later, it progresses and leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or kidney failure. Hypertension is considered as the major contributing risk factor of CKD. OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of chronic kidney disease among adult hypertensive patients in referral hospitals of the Northwest Ethiopia. METHODS An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 581 adult hypertensive patients in a chronic follow-up clinic in referral hospitals, Northwest Ethiopia, from July to August 2020. Systematic random sampling was used to select the study participants. Data were collected using the interviewer-administered questionnaire and participants medical records. Both bivariable and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed. Model fitness was assessed using a Hosmer-Lemeshow test. RESULT The total prevalence of CKD among adult hypertensive patients was 17.6% (95% CI: 14.7-20.8). Diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg (AOR = 8.65; 95% CI: 4.77-15.68), duration of hypertension ≥10 years (AOR = 8.81; 95% CI: 2.47-31.45), stage II HTN (AOR = 2.61; 95% CI: 1.04-6.50), comorbid disease (AOR = 7.0; 95% CI: 2.20-22.21), proteinuria (AOR = 4.59; 95% CI: 2.08-10.12), dyslipidemia (AOR = 3.40; 95% CI: 1.56-7.24), and serum creatinine ≥1 mg/dl (AOR = 8.88; 95% CI: 4.40-17.91) were associated with chronic kidney disease among adult hypertensive patients. CONCLUSION In this study, the prevalence of CKD among hypertensive patients found was 17.6%. Regarding associated factors, dyslipidemia, proteinuria, comorbid disease, serum creatinine greater than 0.9 mg/dl, duration of hypertension greater than 10 years, and diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 mmHg are factors associated with the occurrence of chronic kidney disease among hypertensive patients.

Abstract
Background: Although it is widely known that hypertension is an important cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD), little detailed quantitative research exists on the burden of CKD due to hypertension. Objective: The objective of the study is to estimate the global disease burden of CKD due to hypertension and to evaluate the association between the socioeconomic factors and country-level disease burden of CKD due to hypertension. Methods: We extracted the disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) numbers, rates, and age-standardized rates of CKD due to hypertension from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 database to investigate the time trends of the burden of CKD due to hypertension from 1990 to 2019. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the correlations between the age-standardized DALY rate and socioeconomic factors and other related factors obtained from open databases. Results: Globally, from 1990 to 2019, DALY numbers caused by CKD due to hypertension increased by 125.2% [95% confidential interval (CI), 124.6 to 125.7%]. The DALY rate increased by 55.7% (55.3 to 56.0%) to 128.8 (110.9 to 149.2) per 100,000 population, while the age-standardized DALYs per 100,000 population increased by 10.9% (10.3 to 11.5%). In general, males and elderly people tended to have a higher disease burden. The distribution disparity in the burden of CKD due to hypertension varies greatly among countries. In the stepwise multiple linear regression model, inequality-adjusted human development index (IHDI) [β = −161.1 (95% CI −238.1 to −84.2), P < 0.001] and number of physicians per 10,000 people [β = −2.91 (95% CI −4.02 to −1.80), P < 0.001] were significantly negatively correlated with age-standardized DALY rate when adjusted for IHDI, health access and quality (HAQ), number of physicians per 10,000 people, and population with at least some secondary education. Conclusion: Improving the average achievements and equality of distribution in health, education, and income, as well as increasing the number of physicians per 10,000 people could help to reduce the burden of CKD due to hypertension. These findings may provide relevant information toward efforts to optimize health policies aimed at reducing the burden of CKD due to hypertension.

Abstract
AIMS Coexistence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is common in clinical practice. This study was to explore the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with NAFLD and/or HBV. METHODS Participants who received health examination in a physical examination center were included in this cross-sectional study. Binary logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) for CKD. RESULTS A total of 32,578 cases were included in the final analysis, with 52.3% males and an average age of 44.01±13.09 years old. The positive rate of HBV surface antigen was 14.5% and NAFLD was diagnosed in 30.2% cases. The coexistence of NAFLD and HBV-infection was found in 1,275 (3.9%) cases. In overall population, 713 (2.2%) cases were diagnosed with CKD. The CKD prevalence were 1.4%, 2.1%, 3.5% and 5.0% in those without NAFLD or HBV, HBV-infection alone, NAFLD alone and those with concomitant HBV-infection and NAFLD, respectively. After adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, diabetes and hypertension, the correlation between CKD and liver disease was still significant in HBV group (OR=1.388, 95%CI: 1.055-1.809), yet no longer existed in patients with NAFLD (OR=1.183, 95%CI: 0.986-1.420). The concomitant of NAFLD and HBV infection was associated with a higher odds ratio for CKD compared to any other group (OR=1.961, 95%CI=1.454-2.645). CONCLUSIONS The coexistence of NAFLD and HBV increases the risk of CKD by 2-fold. The control of multiple liver diseases will be beneficial not only to liver but also to kidney.

Almutary HH. Assessment of kidney disease knowledge among chronic kidney disease patients in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. J Ren Care 2021; 47:96-102. [PMID: 33625797 DOI: 10.1111/jorc.12363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2020] [Revised: 10/14/2020] [Accepted: 12/01/2020] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The persistent global increase in chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence highlights the importance of providing patients with sufficient knowledge to allow them to self-manage their disease. OBJECTIVES To gain insights into non-dialysis CKD patients' knowledge of their disease, and assess associations between knowledge and sample characteristics. DESIGN A descriptive cross-sectional design was undertaken. PARTICIPANTS A convenience sample of 203 stages 3-5 CKD patients was recruited. MEASUREMENTS The Kidney Disease Knowledge Survey (KiKs) was used. RESULTS This study revealed that the mean age of the patients was 47.34 years. 50.2% were male and most (75.9%) were married. The mean score of knowledge (measured using KiKs) relating to kidney disease was 17.87 ± 3.212. The lowest scores were related to knowledge of effects of proteinuria (13.3%), meanings of "glomerular filtration rate" (29.6%) and "targeted blood pressure" (31.5%). Although more than 60% of participants knew about some kidney functions, they misunderstood others, including those related to glucose control (23.6%) and blood pressure (54.7%). Patients displayed knowledge scores >70% for five other areas, including disease stage and time since diagnosis. Almost all participants did not know that chronic kidney disease (CKD) could be asymptomatic. The results showed that late-stage CKD (Stages 4 and 5) and longer time since diagnosis of CKD were independently associated with a higher score of knowledge (r = 0.18, p = 0.017; r = 0.41, p < 0.001; r = 0.26, p = 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This study provided initial insights on CKD-related knowledge among patients with Stage 3-5 CKD in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Many gaps in knowledge were identified, especially those relating to blood pressure. More studies are required to fully understand the extent of the knowledge deficit in the wider population; however, these findings will allow nurses to address significant gaps.

Knowledge towards Prevention and Early Detection of Chronic Kidney Disease and Associated Factors among Hypertensive Patients at a Chronic Illness Clinic of Jimma Town Public Hospitals. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:5969326. [PMID: 33145356 PMCID: PMC7599397 DOI: 10.1155/2020/5969326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2020] [Revised: 09/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Morbidity and mortality due to chronic kidney disease are increasing among hypertensive patients in Sub-Saharan Africa. The majority of hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease are not diagnosed at an early stage because of poor knowledge. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no study conducted in Ethiopia about knowledge of hypertensive patients towards prevention and early detection of chronic kidney disease. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess knowledge towards prevention and early detection of chronic kidney disease and associated factors among hypertensive patients at Jimma town public hospitals, Ethiopia. METHODS A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 332 hypertensive patients using an interviewer-administered questionnaire and medical record reviewing from April 5 to May 21, 2019. Study participants were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected by using a standardized questionnaire. Data were entered into Epidata version 3.1 and analyzed by SPSS version 23. Descriptive statistics and bivariable and multivariable logistic regression were applied. To identify factors, a 95% confidence level and P value of less than 0.05 were considered. RESULTS Over half (59.6%) were males, and the mean (±SD) age of participants was 54.92 (12.91) years. Among the total participants, more than half of them (47.9%) had good knowledge. Attending secondary education (AOR = 2.9, P = 0.014), higher education (AOR = 5.4, P = 0.001), working in private sectors (AOR = 4.3, P = 0.001), taking three and above drugs per day (AOR = 0.55, P = 0.016), and having a family history of kidney disease (AOR = 2.3, P = 0.012) were significantly associated with knowledge. Conclusion and Recommendation. Near to half of the study participants had good knowledge towards prevention and early detection of chronic kidney disease. Attending secondary education and above, working in private sectors, taking three and above drugs per day, and having a family history of kidney disease were independent predictors of knowledge. Hypertensive patients should be encouraged to be aware of risk factors of CKD, and health care providers should educate hypertensive patients about the prevention and early detection of chronic kidney disease.

Chronic Kidney Disease among Diabetes Patients in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Int J Nephrol 2020; 2020:8890331. [PMID: 33101733 PMCID: PMC7569456 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8890331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2020] [Revised: 09/23/2020] [Accepted: 09/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Though different primary studies have reported the burden of chronic kidney disease among diabetes patients, their results have demonstrated substantial variation regarding its prevalence in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of chronic kidney disease and its associated factors among diabetes patients in Ethiopia. Method PubMed, African Journals Online, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Wiley Online Library were searched to identify relevant studies. The I2 statistic was used to check heterogeneity across the included studies. A random-effects model was applied to estimate the pooled effect size across studies. A funnel plot and Egger's regression test were used to determine the presence of publication bias. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA™ version 14 software. Result In this meta-analysis, a total of 12 studies with 4,075 study participants were included. The estimated prevalence of CKD among diabetes patients was found to be 35.52% (95% CI: 25.9–45.45, I2 = 96.3%) for CKD stages 1 to 5 and 14.5% (95% CI: 10.5–18.49, I2 = 91.1%) for CKD stages 3 to 5. Age greater than 60 years (OR = 2.99; 95% CI: 1.56–5.73), female sex (OR = 1.68; 95% CI: 1.04–2.69), duration of diabetes >10 years (OR = 2.76; 95% CI: 1.38–5.51), body mass index >30 kg/m2 (OR = 2.06; 95% CI: 1.41–3.00), type 2 diabetes (OR = 2.54; 95% CI: 1.73–3.73), poor glycemic control (OR = 2.01; 95% CI: 1.34–3.02), fasting blood glucose >150 mg/dl (OR = 2.58; 95% CI: 1.79–3.72), high density lipoprotein >40 mg/dl (OR = 0.48; 95% CI: 0.30–0.85–25), systolic blood pressure>140 mmHg (OR = 3.26; 95% CI: 2.24–4.74), and diabetic retinopathy (OR = 4.54; CI: 1.08–25) were significantly associated with CKD. Conclusion This study revealed that the prevalence of chronic kidney disease remains high among diabetes patients in Ethiopia. This study found that a long duration of diabetes, age>60 years, diabetic retinopathy, female sex, family history of kidney disease, poor glycemic control, systolic blood pressure, overweight, and high level of high-density lipoprotein were associated with chronic kidney disease among diabetic patients. Therefore, situation-based interventions and context-specific preventive strategies should be developed to reduce the prevalence and risk factors of chronic kidney disease among diabetes patients.

Association between NAFLD and risk of prevalent chronic kidney disease: why there is a difference between east and west? BMC Gastroenterol 2020; 20:139. [PMID: 32375660 PMCID: PMC7203801 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-020-01278-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2019] [Accepted: 04/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Backgrounds There is a discrepancy between west and east on the relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to find out the possible reason for this and to clarify the association between NAFLD and CKD by analyzing two population-based datasets from the US and China. Methods Two health examination datasets from China and the US were used. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 or and/or abnormal albuminuria and/or overt proteinuria. Binary logistic regression was used to examine the association between NAFLD and CKD. Results A total of 60,965 participants were analyzed, including 11,844 from the US and 51,229 from China. The prevalence of NAFLD was 27.12% in the Chinese population and 36.08% in the US population (p < 0.001). The proportions of CKD and late stage CKD (stages 3–5) were higher in the US population than the Chinese one. NAFLD was independently associated with an increased risk of CKD in Chinese population, whereas in the US population, the NAFLD was not an independent risk factor of CKD. In subgroup analyses which excluded late stages CKD (stages 3–5), the risks of mild renal function decline became consistent: NAFLD was associated with early stages of CKD but not the late stages of CKD in both populations. Conclusion NAFLD increased the risk of early stages of CKD in both Chinese and the US population. The conflicting results reported by previous studies might result from the different proportion of late stages of CKD.

Abstract
Background/Objectives Diabetes is a global public health problem, and its burden is rising, particularly in developing countries. However, limited data is available from sub-Sahara African communities to assess and monitor the disease burden. The study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of diabetes in Hosanna, Ethiopia. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 634 randomly selected adults in Hosanna. The study participants were recruited by multi-stage stratified sampling. A face-to-face interview using a structured questionnaire was administered by trained nurses. Anthropometry, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose levels were measured. Diabetes mellitus was considered when the fasting blood glucose level was ≥126 mg/dl on two separate measurements or when the participant self-reported a previous diagnosis of diabetes by healthcare providers or when the participant was currently receiving treatment for diabetes. Multi-variable binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with diabetes mellitus. Findings The overall prevalence of diabetes was found to be 5.7% (95% CI; 4.0-7.7), out of which more than one third (36%) were not aware of it prior to the survey. Nearly two thirds (61.1%) of the diabetic participants were also found to be hypertensive. In the multi-variable analysis, diabetes was associated with current alcohol use, sitting on average of more than 8 hours/day, abnormal BMI and being hypertensive. Conclusion The prevalence of diabetes among the adult population in the town is alarming. If appropriate measures to address the burden are not emplaced, it might result in serious complications to the patients and unnecessarily high costs to the health system of the country. Active screening for raised blood glucose level should be given due consideration, particularly in the community setting. Designing health education programs on the importance of physical activity and the risks of alcohol use should also be considered.
