ABSTRACT
Background: In Pakistan more than 25 million people are
suffering from kidney diseases. Kidney damage can be detected at earlier stage
by simple laboratory tests like renal function tests, proteinuria and estimated
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR).
Objective: To assess renal functions and common risk factors of
its impairment in a group of general population on world kidney day 2018.
Materials
and Methods: It is a descriptive
study conducted in Central Diagnostic Laboratory, Mayo Hospital/ King Edward
Medical University (KEMU), Lahore It was carried out on 158 Healthy subjects
without history of renal disease. All collected data was entered and analyzed
by using Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS version 20).
Results: 85(54%) were males and 73(46%) females. Mean +
SD age was 44.3 ±13.9 years. 50(32%) were hypertensive, 30(19%) were
hyperglycemic, 28(18%) had proteinuria, 30(19%) had Hyperuricemia and 18(12%)
had increased creatinine levels. Mean ± SD glucose, creatinine and uric acid
levels were 130± 30, 1.2± 0.7 and 4.5± 1.3 mg/dl respectively.
Conclusion: Screening of subjects without renal known disease
with diagnosed hypertension, diabetes or hyperuricemia as risk factors for CKD
is required. 18 undiagnosed cases of CKD were identified in this survey.
