CKD Registry – A Single Centre Experience
Abstract
Aim - After the publication of the previous chronic kidney disease (CKD) registry, there has been no national level data on the pattern of CKD in India. This CKD registry looks into demographics, etiology and other characteristics of patients with CKD.
Material & Methods – This retrospective study was conducted in all patients diagnosed as a new patient of CKD at Christian Medical College, Vellore from 1st Jan 2014 to 31st Dec 2014. Data from these patients was analyzed in this study.
Results - The mean age was 47.03 (+ 15.3) years, with Male : Female ratio of 85:15. Main causes of CKD were hypertensive and diabetic nephropathy. About 36% cases presented in CKD G5. Diabetic nephropathy patients were older in age as compared to other kidney diseases.
Discussion – CKD demographic profile over the years has changed to little degree over the time. Previous studies also showed it to be male dominant, with diabetic nephropathy as a main cause.
