BACKGROUND: Adequate control of hypertension (HTN) is essential to prevent complications such as cardiovascular and kidney diseases. Despite the use of established clinical protocols on the treatment of HTN in primary health facilities in South Africa, the HTN of many patients remains poorly controlled. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of poorly controlled HTN as well as identify related associated risk factors in a sample of adult attendees in primary health care facilities...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is becoming one of the world's most prevalent noncommunicable chronic diseases. The World Health Organization projects CKD to become the 5th most common chronic disease in 2040. Causes of CKD are multifactorial and diverse, but early-stage symptoms are often few and silent. Progression rates are highly variable, but patients encounter both an increased risk for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) as well as increased cardiovascular risk. End-stage kidney disease incidence is generally low, but every single case carries a significant burden of illness and healthcare costs, making prevention by early intervention both desirable and worthwhile...

An expert advisory board discussed the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD), with a focus on dietary options. This is timely, given the uptake of value based models for kidney care in the United States. Timing of dialysis start is influenced by patients' clinical status and complex patient-clinician interactions. Patients value personal freedom and quality of life and may want to delay dialysis, whilst physicians are sometimes more concerned with clinical outcomes. Kidney-preserving therapy can prolong the dialysis-free period and preserve residual kidney function, thus patients are asked to adjust their lifestyle and diet, to follow a low- or very low-protein diet, with or without ketoacid analogues...

Peptic ulcer disease is common, affecting 1 out of 12 people in the United States. Approximately 1 in 5 peptic ulcers is associated with Helicobacter pylori infection, with most of the rest due to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use. The combination of H. pylori infection and NSAID use synergistically increases the risk of bleeding ulcers more than sixfold. The H. pylori test-and-treat strategy is the mainstay of outpatient management. Patients younger than 60 years who have dyspepsia without alarm symptoms should be tested and, if positive, treated to eradicate the infection...

Introduction Hypertension (HTN) is one of the most important cardiovascular risk factors. It is associated with significant complications, such as coronary artery disease, stroke, and chronic kidney disease. Awareness among hypertensive patients regarding their blood pressure (BP) is low in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Aim This study aimed to evaluate the awareness of patients regarding their BP readings and to identify which aspects of HTN they needed to be informed about. Patients and methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among hypertensive patients attending outpatient clinics at King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia...

BACKGROUND: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have important kidney and cardiovascular benefits in adults with chronic kidney disease. Among adults with diabetes, we characterized the prevalence of chronic kidney disease eligible for SGLT2 inhibitor treatment, based on definitions of eligibility from trials and diabetes guidelines, and assessed the predictors of SGLT2 inhibitor use. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study using linked administrative data from Alberta Health in adults with diabetes (2002-2019)...

INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have impaired immune status; that's why these patients are prone to develop infection-related complications. The current study compares non-haemodialysis chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (NO-HD-CKD and ESRD, respectively) patient outcomes, the data of which is sparse. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection through reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were retrospectively studied using electronic health records...

BACKGROUND: Diabetes patients with comorbidities need regular and comprehensive care for their disease management. Hence, it is essential to assess the primary care preparedness for managing diabetes patients and the perspectives of the diabetes patients on the care received at the primary care facilities. METHODS: All 21 Urban Primary Health Centres (UPHCs) in Bhubaneswar city of Odisha, India, were assessed using the modified Primary Care Evaluation Tool and WHO Package of Essential Non-communicable disease interventions questionnaire...

OBJECTIVES: The treatment workload associated with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is high. The treatment burdens experienced by patients with ESKD are not well understood. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the most important areas of treatment burden for discussion in a clinical encounter from the perspectives of patients with ESKD and nephrologists. We sought to explore possible solutions to these high priority treatment burden challenges. DESIGN: Nominal group technique (NGT) sessions...

OBJECTIVES: Landmark clinical trials have shown the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors to have cardiorenal benefits beyond their glucose-lowering effect. Clinical guidelines now recommend their use in patients with chronic kidney disease or heart failure, with or without type 2 diabetes, potentially affecting prescribing patterns among physician specialties. METHODS: Using monthly projected total retail dispensed prescription data from IQVIA's CompuScript database, we assessed trends in prescribing SGLT-2 inhibitors among 6 prescriber specialities from 2015 to 2021 in Canada...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 10-15% of the adult population worldwide and is a major societal problem. A latent course of the disease and little alarming, gradually increasing symptoms usually do not cause concern in patients and diagnostic vigilance in physicians. CKD is most often diagnosed in its end-stage when treatment options are extremely limited. This study aims to assess the knowledge of CKD among primary care physicians (PCPs) in Poland. A CAWI survey was conducted based on an authors' own questionnaire that consisted of two parts...

REVIEW
Robert Greite, Kai Schmidt-Ott
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as a relevant excretion of albumin into the urine or a reduction of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) over a longer time period of ≥ 3 months. The causes of CKD are manifold, whereby the association with diabetes mellitus is the most frequent cause. Early stages of CKD affect approximately 10% of the total population. The frequency of cardiovascular events, the risk of dependency on dialysis and the all-cause mortality increase exponentially with a decrease in the GFR and an increase in albuminuria...

BACKGROUND: Severe congenital lower urinary tract obstruction (cLUTO) is associated with poor postnatal outcomes, including chronic and end stage kidney disease, and high mortality. Studies of the impact of fetal intervention through vesicoamniotic shunting are marred by a device malfunction rate of up to 60%. In this study, we delineate the postnatal course and infant kidney function following definitive urinary diversion in utero . MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective, single-center cohort study of 16 male infants who survived the fetal intervention to birth, from 2010 to 2014 at a single center...

Purpose: Elderly patients are associated with a higher risk of nosocomial cross infection during the COVID-19 pandemic. Providing medical services and primary care for elderly patients is a worldwide challenge. A new telegeriatrics system was established to provide medical services and primary care for elderly patients treated by family physicians. This study aimed to describe the operation mechanism of the new system and investigate the demands of telegeriatrics medical services for elderly patients treated by family physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic...

AIM: This study was to investigate the relationships among health behaviors and quality of life (QOL) and to test a proposed model among people with hypertension and concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD) in primary care. In addition, the mediation effect of modifiable risk factors between self-care health behaviors and QOL was examined.
