Background

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has been described as the most neglected chronic disease; However, it represents a serious public health problem in Mexico and the world. Between 8 and 10% of the adult population have some form of kidney damage, and every year millions die prematurely of complications related to CKD.

Methods

A Kidney Disease detection campaign was carried out at the ISSSTE Sahuayo facilities on World Kidney Day 2024. Attendees were given information about kidney health; They were questioned for background and glucose, blood pressure, anthropometry as well as serum creatinine and microalbuminuria (Mission Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Urine)) were taken. 176 subjects were evaluated, including a population of all ages. The GFR was estimated with the CKD-EPI formula and CKD was defined according to the KDIGO guidelines. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with logistic regression analysis.

Results

The CKD classification, by glomerular filtration rate, was: G1: 76, G2: 83, G3A: 14, G3B: 3, G4: 0 and G5: 0; with established prevalence (GFR <60 ml/min 1.73 m2) of 9.6%. Regarding the albumin/creatinine ratio in urine, it was: A1: 109, A2: 66, A3: 1; with prevalence of ratio greater than 30 mg/gr: 38%

Conclusion

In the population of Sahuayo, there is a significant percentage of patients with CKD, similar to that observed worldwide, there is a direct relationship with chronic-degenerative diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, as well as habits such as smoking and alcoholism; Most of the patients captured were not found in advanced stages of kidney damage, which is why it is important to provide preventive measures to reduce its progression.
