EARLY DETECTION OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE IN AT-RISK POPULATION

The present study aimed to assess the occurrence of kidney disease in the early stages in hypertensive and diabetic individuals who participated in groups of the HiperDia program in the state of Santa Catarina. Cross-sectional study with data collection between July 2015 and July 2016. Kidney disease was classified by glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of less or more than 60 mL/min/1.73m 2, and calculated by Crockoft-Gault equation. Of the 1,486 participants, 473 (31.8%) had glomerular filtration under 60 ml/min/1.73 m2,, 616 in stage two (41.5%), mean age 63.1 (± 11.8) years, 992 subjects (66.8%) were females, and women had higher glomerular filtration rates than men. A significant inverse relationship was found between aging and glomerular filtration rate of 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2, and a direct relationship was found between age and decrease of serum creatinine. A high prevalence of kidney disease, especially of stage two, was observed, corroborating the importance of guidance and proper monitoring of hypertensive and diabetic patients, in order to stop kidney function impairment, with focus on health prevention and promotion.
