Muazzma Siddiqa, M. Zarrar Arif Butt, Hasnain Afzal

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and has major implications in terms of both human suffering and health economics. Objectives of the study: The main objective of the study is to analyse the role of cardiovascular damage and MI due to chronic kidney disease in Pakistan. Material and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in health department Punjab during 2019. For this purpose we select the 100 patients of CKD who attend the hospital regularly. We develop a questionnaire for finding the knowledge of people about an association of CKD with cardiovascular damage. Results: Table 01 shows the prevalence of CKD. Among all, 218(74.40%) had GFR >90, 61(20.81) were in CKD stage 2 with eGFR 60-89, and 14(4.77%) in CDK stage 3 with eGFR 30-59. Conclusion: It is concluded that the finding of a possible risk of ESRD associated with childhood kidney diseases implies that there is an even greater, albeit unmeasured, risk of the considerably more prevalent antecedent stages of chronic kidney disease.
