Introduction: Comorbidities are frequently seen in admitted COVID-19 patients most common being hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease is a slowly progressive chronic illness due to the gradual loss of kidney function or structure. The available data regarding the prevalence of chronic kidney disease and COVID-19 comorbidities is still limited. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of chronic kidney disease among COVID-19 patients admitted to the Department of Medicine of a tertiary care centre.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done in the Department of Medicine of a tertiary care centre. Data of medical records between 1 August 2020 to 1 December 2022 were reviewed retrospectively. The data was collected from 20 January 2023 to 20 March 2023. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 646/2079/80). Data on chronic kidney disease patients among COVID-19 patients were collected from the hospital records. Convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.
Results: Among 584 COVID-19 patients admitted, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease was 43 (7.36%) (5.24-9.48, 95% Confidence Interval). A total of 30 (69.77%) were male and 13 (30.23%) were female with a mean age of 55±16.22 years.
Conclusions: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease among COVID-19 patients admitted in the department of Medicine of a tertiary care centre was found to be slightly higher than other studies done in similar settings.
