Objectives This qualitative descriptive study explored the primary health care decisions of a group of 12 Australians in Stages 3B to 5 with chronic kidney disease in the preservation of kidney health. Methods Questioning within the qualitative interviews focused on gaining an understanding of the participants’ perceptions of their kidney health and the decisions made as a consequence of their interaction within the Australian primary health care system. Results Participants were dependent on their General Practitioner to recognise their symptoms, make the correct diagnosis and authorise the correct referral for specialist nephrology care. Three pathways in this process were identified: ‘easy’; ‘difficult’ and ‘protracted’. Clinician failure to correctly attribute symptoms to chronic kidney disease influenced the ‘difficult’ pathway, while failure to adequately communicate kidney health status influenced the ‘protracted’ pathway. Use of the language of ‘recovery’, ‘stability’ and ‘protection’ held meaning to the participants in gaining an understanding of their kidney health. Discussion Identifying pathways to diagnosis and referral can raise awareness of the challenges kidney health consumers face in their participation within the primary health care arena. Using consumer meaningful language improves the capacity of these consumers to engage in their own primary health care agenda.

Background: studies have shown an association between obesity and a reduction in estimated glomerular fi ltration rate (eGFR). However, little is known regarding whether this association is related to total fat or, more specifi cally, to central or visceral fat.Objective: this study evaluated the correlations among the nutritional indices that measure total, central and visceral obesity with eGFR.Methods: a cross-sectional study, involving 288 hypertensive patients. Kidney function was estimated by GFR, using the Modifi cation of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations. Explanatory variables included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), waist stature ratio (WSR), estimated visceral adipose tissue (eVAT) and body fat percentage (BF%).Results: the mean BMI was 27.8 ± 4.7 kg/m². Most of the patients (68.1%) were in the normal range of BF%, but regarding WC and eVAT, they were at very high risk (58.3% and 64.6%, respectively). In men, there were no correlations between nutritional indices and eGFR. In women, only eVAT remained negatively correlated with eGFR, estimated by MDRD and CKD-EPI equations, independent of BMI, smoking, physical inactivity, blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin, LDL and HDL cholesterol, uric acid and microalbuminuria.Conclusions: the majority of obesity indices were not associated with eGFR. Only eVAT was negatively associated with eGFR by MDRD and CKDEPI equations in hypertensive women. In primary health care, visceral adipose tissue estimation could support the identifi cation of hypertensive women at increased risk for developing chronic kidney disease.

Background: Although chronic kidney disease (CKD) is considered the major cause of morbidity and mortality in hypertension, the recognition and prevention of CKD remain deficient. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the major health challenges in Egypt. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately 13% of the adult population, resulting in significant morbidity, mortality and health care costs. Patients with more progressive stage 3 or stage 4 CKD experience a high rate of cardiovascular events and death compared to earlier stages of CKD. Aim: This study was performed to determine the prevalence of chronic kidney disease among hypertensive non-diabetics patients attending Primary health care (PHC) Centers in Cairo. Methodology: The study type is a cross sectional study, Study setting: Two Primary Health Care centers (PHCs):Saraya El-kobba and El-Sharabya. Sampling method: Recruitment of participants was done in one day weekly. Any known essential hypertensive patients aged 18 or more registered in the two PHC Centers in Cairo. Results: The prevalence of CKD was 33% among the hypertensive non-diabetic patients. Among CKD participants, the prevalence is more common in females (59.7%) than males (40.3%),in those who completed primary education and the illiterates and low socioeconomic class. Surprisingly, it is more common in patients with positive family history of CKD and patients with ischemic heart disease and the antihypertensive drugs used. Conclusion: CKD has a high prevalence among hypertensive non-diabetic patients, and it has a significant morbidity and mortality among those patients.

Introduction. Academy of Medical Science of Serbian Medical Societyintroduced collaboration between Belgrade nephrologistsand general practitioners with the aim of examining the prevalenceof chronic kidney disease (CKD) in populations at risk as well as ofchecking whether collaboration with general practitioners contributedto implementation of regular CKD screening.Methods. The research encompassed two studies carried out infour Belgrade Primary Health Care Centers. The screening study involved619 patients at risk for CKD (348 with hypertension, 206 withdiabetes, 65 persons aged > 60 years without hypertension/diabetes)in whom glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was estimated byMDRD formula, while urine dipstick test was used for detection ofproteinuria and albuminuria (Micral-test® strips).The second studywas retrospective analysis of medical records of 450 patients whowere examined in the screening study and whose blood pressureand eGFR recording were analyzed during three-year period.Results. In screening study, eGFR below 60 ml/min/1.73m2 wasdetected in 121 (19.55%) and albuminuria in 242 (39.10%) patients.During three-year retrospective study, percentage of patientswhose blood pressure and eGFR were recorded decreasedfrom 42% to 22% and from 42% to 18%, respectively. Multivariateregression analysis selected health center, systolic blood pressureand hypertension as the variables significantly associated with thenumber of years in which blood pressure was recorded, while malegender, health center, hypertension and basal eGFR as variablesassociated with the number of years in which eGFR was recorded.Conclusion. Despite collaboration between nephrologists andgeneral practitioners in screening study, the retrospective threeyearstudy revealed insufficient recording of blood pressure andeGFR in patients’ medical records.
