Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem, with increasing prevalence and lethal adverse outcomes like progressive loss of kidney function, cardiovascular disease and premature death.
The presence of a first degree or second degree relative with ESRD was reported to increase the risk of developing ESRD by 3 to 5 fold in Americans.
We aimed to estimate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in first and second - degree relatives of Hemodialysis patients.
This study was carried out in Menoufia University hospital on 321 subjects 181 (56.4 %) were male and 140 (43.6 %) were female. All subjects were first- and second-degree relatives to ESRD patients. This study includes (321) person from first and second degree relative of ESRD patients. Who met the inclusion criteria at the time of the study. Family members of ESRD patients were recruited for CKD screening. A medical history, measurements of BP, serum glucose, serum creatinine, and urinalysis, ACR were obtained at community screening sites.
In our study of 321 relatives: 181 (56.4%) of the studied patients were males and 140 (43.6%) were females, 241 (75.1%) of the studied patients were first degree and 80 (24.9%) were second degree, our study show (5.6%) 18 presons have CKD, (72.2%) 13 person from first degree and (27.8 %) 5 persons from second degree relatives.
In our study the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in relatives of chronic hemodialysis patients was (5.6%).
All participants were divided into two groups: group 1 Normal individuals (303) and group 2 individuals with CKD (18).
There was no statistically significant difference between the studied groups as regard BMI, Blood pressure, smoking.
There were highly significant difference between the studied groups as regard aetiology of ESRD in relatives due to unknown cause (p value <0.0001).
