ANALYSIS OF CHILDHOOD KIDNEY DISEASE AND RISK OF RENAL DISEASE AMONG LOCAL POPULATION OF PAKISTAN

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are global health problems with increasing prevalence. Early identification of persons at increased risk may allow for early interventions that might reduce the incidence of progressive chronic kidney disease and its associated complications. Aims and objectives: The basic aim of the study is to analyze the childhood kidney disease and risk of renal disease among local population of Pakistan. Material and methods: This study was conducted at hospitals of Vehari with the collaboration of Kasur hospital during 2018. All future conscripts are asked to provide copies of all available medical records, and their family physicians. Results: Table 01 shows the prevalence of CKD. Among all, 218(74.40%) had GFR >90, 61(20.81) were in CKD stage 2 with eGFR 60-89, and 14(4.77%) in CDK stage 3 with eGFR 30-59. A history of any childhood kidney disease was associated with a hazard ratio for ESRD of 4.19 (95% confidence interval). Conclusion: It is concluded that the finding of a possible risk of ESRD associated with childhood kidney diseases implies that there is an even greater, albeit unmeasured, risk of the considerably more prevalent antecedent stages of chronic kidney disease.
