Prevalence And Associated Factors Of Chronic Renal Failure In Southern Region In Saudi Arabia
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects adults' population and has a high morbidity and mortality rate. CKD represents an important public health problem that affects cardiovascular disease and impacts the quality of life. CKD is defined as the presence of kidney damage or an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 60 ml/min/1.73 mt2, persisting for 3 months or more, irrespective of the cause.
Aim: This paper aimed to explore the prevalence of chronic renal failure and its related factors in the Southern region of KSA.
Methodology: An observational descriptive retrospective study was conducted between September and November 2023. Patients suffering from chronic renal failure in the South region of KSA were the target respondents. Data collection included socio-demographics characteristics of the patients, history of chronic renal failure disease, and history of other chronic disease as well.
Results: All of 163 patients diagnosed with CKD had hypertension, 70.4% of them were diagnosed with hypertension for almost more than 10 years, 36% suffered from diabetes, 98.8% did not suffer from allergies, and 10.4% did suffer from ischemic heart disease.
Conclusion: The associated risk factors of chronic renal failure among Saudi patients in the Southern region mainly endangered those aged from 50 to 70 years old. As people age, screening for risk factors of CKD becomes a priority for all healthcare professionals; screening will achieve earlier detection and provide greater possibility to control predisposing risk factors to delay further deterioration in kidney function. Among the several identified risk factors, hypertension has been the most common, classically in essential hypertension.
