Chronic Kidney disease among a sample of Libyan population: What are ‎the leading Risk Factors?‎
Abstract
Background: Retrospective study about the risk factors for ‎chronic kidney disease ‎‎(CKD) particularly end stage of renal failure (ESRF) among Libyan patients in ‎‎2018. In this paper we focus the relation between selected diseases that may be ‎associated with ‎CKD on cross with different lifestyle factors such as ‎eating habits.
Methods: Selected patients, from two local ‎medical centres in Tripoli, this study were designed depended on the answers of patients from face to face questionnaire of 35 ‎questions, during the period from Jul/2018 up to ‎Jan/‎‎2019
Results: 110 patients with ESRF were ‎interviewed. Response rate was 83%. We noticed that ‎the ‎most risk factors for ESRF among our sample patients ‎were hypertension (HT) 32% , followed by ‎hypertension ‎and diabetes mellitus (DM) together 20%, then diabetes ‎‎11.8% .‎ ‎eating habits such as adding salt to food and consumption of salty food may also have contributed to ESRF progression.
Conclusions: As there are ‎many different risk factors for ‎CKD, such as chronic disease ‎‎and eating habits, regular checks ‎of kidney function is highly ‎recommended. ‎ ‎
