Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive loss of the kidney function which leads to a decreased kidneys’ ability to process waste in the blood and it affects the other important functions of the kidney. The disease has different stages that can alter the health status of individuals. During the early stages, patients may present with a normal or slight decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and albuminuria. Later, it progresses and leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or kidney failure. Hypertension is considered as the major contributing risk factor of CKD. Objective. This study was aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of chronic kidney disease among adult hypertensive patients in referral hospitals of the Northwest Ethiopia. Methods. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 581 adult hypertensive patients in a chronic follow-up clinic in referral hospitals, Northwest Ethiopia, from July to August 2020. Systematic random sampling was used to select the study participants. Data were collected using the interviewer-administered questionnaire and participants medical records. Both bivariable and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed. Model fitness was assessed using a Hosmer—Lemeshow test. Result. The total prevalence of CKD among adult hypertensive patients was 17.6% (95% CI: 14.7–20.8). Diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg (AOR = 8.65; 95% CI: 4.77–15.68), duration of hypertension ≥10 years (AOR = 8.81; 95% CI: 2.47–31.45), stage II HTN (AOR = 2.61; 95% CI: 1.04–6.50), comorbid disease (AOR = 7.0; 95% CI: 2.20–22.21), proteinuria (AOR = 4.59; 95% CI: 2.08–10.12), dyslipidemia (AOR = 3.40; 95% CI: 1.56–7.24), and serum creatinine ≥1 mg/dl (AOR = 8.88; 95% CI: 4.40–17.91) were associated with chronic kidney disease among adult hypertensive patients. Conclusion. In this study, the prevalence of CKD among hypertensive patients found was 17.6%. Regarding associated factors, dyslipidemia, proteinuria, comorbid disease, serum creatinine greater than 0.9 mg/dl, duration of hypertension greater than 10 years, and diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 mmHg are factors associated with the occurrence of chronic kidney disease among hypertensive patients.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of 24 hour systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) variability (BPV) on renal progression in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Methods: A total 59 hypertensive patients (mean age: 54.2±14.6 years, 50.8% male) with CKD who underwent 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) were included. Data on SBP, DBP, BPV coefficients (VC) for SBP (SBP-CV) and DBP (DBP-CV) were recorded. A decrease in e-GFR of <5 ml/min/year was considered as normal renal progression and a decrease in ≥5 ml/min/year was considered as rapid renal progression. Results: Overall, 40.6% of the patients had uncontrolled HT, while 45.8% had non-dipper pattern. Mean±SD daytime and night-time SBP and SBP-VC values were 135.3±17.9 mmHg, 128.6±23.0 mmHg, 11.7±2.8 and 9.5±3.6, respectively. Mean±SD daytime and nigh-time DBP and DBP-VC values were 84.5±13.4 mmHg, 77.2±16.1 mmHg, 13.8±3.8 and 12.0±3.7, respectively. Rapid renal progression was detected in 25.4% of patients with no significant difference in daytime, night-time and total SBP, SBP-VC, DBP and DBP-VC values between patients with rapid vs. natural renal progression. The regression analysis adjusted for age, gender, presence of DM, baseline e-GFR and dipping status revealed no significant impact of SBP-VC and DBP-VC in predicting rapid progression (p> 0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, our finding revealed no significant association between BPV and renal progression in hypertensive patients with CKD. Larger scale prospective, randomized controlled trials with longer follow-up are needed to clarify this issue.

Abstract Background Recent studies suggest that the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not linear, but we do not have clear evidence on this issue, especially in hypertensive patients. We sought to evaluate the progression of CKD and associated factors over four years in a cohort of hypertensive patients. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study during the years 2012 and 2016, with hypertensive patients diagnosed with CKD (n = 113). The progression of CKD was assessed through the evolution of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the change in the stage of CKD between 2012 and 2016. Sociodemographic, economic, lifestyle, clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical variables were evaluated. The strength of the association between CKD progression and explanatory variables was assessed by odds ratio (OR) and their respective 95% confidence intervals using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results Regarding progression, 78.1% of the CKD patients did not progress over four years. When assessing the CKD trajectory (2012–2016) through the evolution of GFR, there was a mean reduction of 1.3 mL/min/1.73m² in four years. In the group that progressed, there was a reduction of 13 mL/min/1.73m², while in the group that did not progress, there was an increase of 2 mL/min/1.73m². In the multivariate analyses, age (p = 0.047), diabetes mellitus (DM) (p = 0.042), and urea (p = 0.050) were independently associated with CKD progression. Conclusions The findings of the present study showed a non-linear progression of CKD over the four years, contrary to what is traditionally expected. Age, DM and urea were independently associated with CKD progression.

Abstract Background chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem associated with progressive decline in kidney function and adverse cardiovascular outcome. Anemia in CKD has substantial adverse outcomes in CKD patients. There is paucity of published data on prevalence of anemia and its associated factors among CKD patients in Northwest Ethiopia. Objective This study aimed to determine the prevalence of anemia and its associated factors among CKD patients at University of Gondar hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May1, to September 30, 2018. Consecutive sampling was used to recruit 251 study subjects. Data regarding patient’s socio-demographics, clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters were collected from patients’ interview and medical records. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Bi-variate and multi-variate logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of anemia in CKD patients. P<0.05 was used to declare association. Results The prevalence of anemia was high (64.5%), and tended to increase as eGFR declined. Hypertension (45%), chronic glomerulonephritis (24%) and diabetes (20%) were common causes of CKD. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed rural residence (AOR= 2.75, 95% CI: 1.34-5.65, p=0.006), BMI<18.5 kg/m2 (AOR=6.78, 95% CI: 1.32-34.73, p=0.022) and BMI of 18.5-24.9 kg/m2 (AOR=5.04, 95% CI: 1.26-20.10, p=0.022), and having hemodialysis history (AOR=3.59, 95% CI: 1.24-10.38, p=0.018) were predictors of anemia in CKD patients. Conclusion Prevalence of anemia in CKD patients was high (64.5%). Rural residence, non-obese body habitus and having hemodialysis history were found to be predictors of anemia in CKD patients. Periodic screening and intervention for anemia in CKD patients should be practiced to prevent its sequelae.
