Summary
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 8.83% of the rural population, with prevalence increasing significantly after age 65. Aging is a key independent risk factor for CKD in both genders.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Epidemiology
- Public Health
Background:
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a significant global health burden.
- Understanding CKD prevalence in rural populations is crucial for targeted interventions.
- Cardiovascular risk factors and aging are associated with CKD development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the prevalence of CKD in a rural farming population.
- To analyze the association between CKD and cardiovascular risk factors.
- To investigate the role of aging in CKD development.
Main Methods:
- A random sample of 2193 farmers was enrolled.
- Data collected via questionnaires, clinical examinations, and biological samples (urine and blood).
- CKD diagnosis based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using CKD-EPI equation and KDIGO guidelines.
Main Results:
- Overall CKD prevalence was 8.83%, higher in women (9.9%) than men (6.3%).
- Albuminuria was present in 8.45% of participants.
- CKD prevalence sharply increased after age 65 (29.44%), with aging identified as the strongest predictor.
Conclusions:
- CKD is highly prevalent in the studied rural population, disproportionately affecting women.
- Aging is a significant independent predictor of CKD.
- Hypertension, albuminuria, elevated blood glucose, diabetes, and abdominal obesity are associated with increased CKD risk.

01:25Chronic Kidney Disease I: Introduction
52
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) arises when the kidneys progressively lose their ability to function, ultimately leading to end-stage renal disease. At this advanced stage, the kidneys can no longer filter waste or maintain essential body functions, requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) through dialysis or a kidney transplant for survival.Early-stage chronic kidney disease and detection challengesIn CKD's early stages, symptoms often remain absent because healthy nephrons compensate for...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

01:24Chronic Kidney Disease II: Clinical Manifestations
56
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progressively impairs multiple body systems due to the accumulation of uremic toxins, which disrupt cellular functions across various organs.Neurologic symptomsNeurologic symptoms often arise early in CKD, as uremic toxin buildup drives changes in cognitive and motor functions. Patients frequently experience fatigue, headache, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and, in severe cases, seizures. Peripheral neuropathy commonly manifests as burning sensations in the...

Nursing management is essential for preventing complications, maintaining stability, and improving patients' quality of life in chronic kidney disease (CKD). By using a structured approach, nurses help slow CKD progression and support effective patient care.1. Comprehensive patient assessmentEffective management begins with nurses reviewing the patient’s medical history, and identifying key risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and nephrotoxic drug use. Nurses assess signs of...

Accurate diagnosis and effective prevention are critical in managing Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), which is linked to high mortality rates ranging from 10% to 80%. Timely recognition of at-risk patients and careful monitoring can significantly reduce the likelihood of kidney damage.Diagnostic Assessments:The diagnostic process starts with a comprehensive medical history to identify prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal causes.Prerenal causes, such as dehydration, hypotension, or blood loss, should...

01:10Nephrons
3.2K
The kidneys are intricate organs with millions of working units known as nephrons. Each nephron features two major structures: the renal corpuscle, which facilitates blood plasma filtration, and the renal tubule, which handles the glomerular filtrate. Blood supply is directly linked to the nephrons. The renal corpuscle consists of the glomerulus, a capillary network, and the Bowman's capsule, a double-walled epithelial structure that encases the glomerulus. The filtering of blood plasma...
