Chronic Kidney Disease by Stage Secondary to Diabetes

Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease secondary to diabetes is a public health problem; however, it indicates underreporting where the majority of the patients get diagnosed on lately stages. Objective: To determine the evolution time of diabetes and prevalence for stages on chronic kidney disease. Material and method: A cross-sectional and descriptive study was done on 236 patients diabetic type 2. There were included all of them that have more than 5 years of evolution on the diabetes type 2, the sample was calculated with the averages formula for finite population and the selection was simple random. Sociodemographic variables and health variables were studied, the stage of chronic kidney disease were estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation. The statistic analysis included averages, percentages and confidence intervals. Results: The evolution time average of the DM2 from the patients on stage 5 was of 21.25 years (CI 95%; 18.65-23.76). There were identified 12% (CI 95%; 8.1-16.5) of patients on stage 5. The evolution time average from a stage 1 to 5 was 11.19 years. Conclusion: The diabetic patient with chronic kidney disease is not flattering; it is distinguished by short evolution times between the stages and high population percentage on stages 4 and 5.
