ABSTRACT:

Objective: This research work aimed to determine the risk profile of patients suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease. Methodology: This research was conducted in DHQ / Teaching Hospital Gujranwala. This is a transverse research work based on observations. In this research work, we collected the information of 100 patients prospectively. We selected 60 patients with estimated SGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) of less than one hundred and twenty ml/min/1.730m2 randomly from department of nephrology. We obtained the clinical history, information about demography and result of biochemistry tests of the patients. Results: Majority of the patients suffering from chronic kidney disease were asymptomatic. The major frequent anomalies recorded among the patients of Chronic Kidney Disease were anemia, proteinuria & hyper-kalaemia. Elder age, already prevailing morbidities as DM, Hypertension & obesity are traits that have strong association with the referred patients of chronic kidney disease. Conclusions: Majority of the referred patients of chronic disease were present with elder age, diabetes, Hypertension and obesity. Most of the patients of chronic kidney disease were asymptomatic regardless of the mature Chronic Kidney Disease stage. There is need of strong cost-effective screening for the persons present with high risk. Keywords: Obesity, Anomalies, Proteinuria, Asymptomatic, Morbidity, Asymptomatic, Demography.
