Influence of co-morbid conditions on mortality in chronic kidney disease patients in Telangana region
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function for a long period of time. It is a worldwide public health problem with an increasing incidence and prevalence. If chronic kidney disease gets worse it may develop complications like high blood pressure, anaemia, lung disease and cardiovascular problems. The objective of this study was to find out mortality rate in nephrology department and to observe the major co-morbid conditions leading to progression of chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease. A total of 480 patients diagnosed with CKD were enrolled in the study and we observed mortality in 80 patients (16.6 %) and the highest prevalence was observed in age group of 51- 60 years. In our study, majority of the mortality cases were observed in patients with diabetes and hypertension. 85 % of patients were on haemodialysis; among them most of the patients were rural residents. This study concludes that CKD is also one of the leading causes of mortality. Central and state authorities must take necessary steps in creating awareness and increase dialysis centres at the rural level, which will significantly reduce the mortality rate and improve quality of life
