| description | Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has become a
major public health challenge globally. A cause for concern is the
increasing burden of its risk factors, the complications of the disease,
and their effects on the well-being of the increasing proportion of
populations with end stage renal disease worldwide.
Aim: To determine the pattern of risk factors and the correlates
of pruritus among patients with CKD.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was
conducted among 124 consecutively diagnosed CKD patients
at the nephrology unit of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching
Hospital, Sokoto, Nigeria, between December 2014 and May
2015. A proforma was used to collect data on study subjects’
socio-demographic and clinical parameters. Data analysis was
done using International Business Machines (IBM) SPSS Version
20.0 statistical computer software package with all levels of
significance set at p<0.05.
Results: The mean age of the study subjects was 46.7±14.9
years; out of 124, 103 (82.3%) were aged 21 – 60 years, and most
of them were males (79.0%). The most prevalent risk factors
of CKD were hypertension (47.6%), chronic glomerulonephritis
(22.6%) and obstructive uropathy (13.7%). A larger proportion
(54.8%) of the study subjects were haemodialysed. About
one-fifth 20 (16.1%) had pruritus and the correlates of pruritus
identified were sleep deprivation 55 (44.4%) and suicidal
ideation 17 (13.7%).
Conclusion: Hypertension and chronic glomerulonephritis were
the major risk factors of CKD identified in this study. Although
only a few had pruritus, the correlates of pruritus identified were
sleep deprivation and suicidal ideation. In addition to initiating
or scaling up interventions, targeting the risk factors of the
disease, policymakers and healthcare providers should make
routine screening for pruritus and its correlates an essential
component of CKD patients’ care. |
